Over the Fourth of July weekend, central Texas was hit with sudden and devastating flooding as the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in under an hour after torrential rain. It is estimated that more than 80 people lost their lives, including dozens of campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian camp. Join us in prayer for people in Central Texas, as catastrophic flash flooding has impacted their lives.
People lost everything in a matter of minutes. The damage is widespread and the need is urgent. Homes over 100 miles away from the river are flooded. And more storms are on the way today.
Our partners atUMCORare on the ground in the area, working with local churches and organizations to distribute relief supplies like food, water, cleaning kits, hygiene kits, and more to the thousands of people affected by this devastating storm.
When people receive help, they know they are not alone. They know people around the world care about them and what they’re going through. They have what they need to take care of their families and get back on their feet.
