Living Word Foundation Distributing Some Daily Need Grocery During Covid-19 Pandemic.
A deadly wave of severe winter weather brought historic snow, ice, and subfreezing temperatures to communities across Texas. Millions of people were left without electricity. Downed trees and power lines remain a serious problem. Many families have suffered major home damage due to frozen water pipes that burst. Some are still struggling with a lack of clean water.
Samaritan’s Purse is responding to these storms in Jesus’ Name by bringing relief to people in need in the Lone Star state’s capital and its largest city. We dispatched two Disaster Relief Units—tractor trailers filled with relief supplies and equipment—and our teams will work in both the Austin and Houston areas. We deployed from our Southwest Ministry Center in Coppell, Texas, as well as from North Carolina.
“I was in Texas last week during the historic winter weather, and it was terrible. Even though the electricity is now back on, so many people have tremendous damage to their homes from frozen and burst pipes. They need help and are unsure of what to do next or where to turn,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse. “We want to be there to help as many as we can in Jesus’ Name. Please join me in praying for these communities as they begin to recover.”
