Prayer Request:
In West Virginia, many families are still recovering from devastating flooding that occurred this summer. As our teams rebuild houses there, please pray for the families who will call them home. Pray that they will experience God's love in a tangible way and be encouraged that they are not alone.

These teenagers are being the light of Jesus to hurting families still recovering from Hurricane Isaias.
Keswick Christian School Principal Lee Mortimer connected with Samaritanโs Purse five years ago when a hurricane hit their own backyard in Florida.
When Hurricane Isaias hit the Florida Panhandle in October, his students immediately asked if they could take a trip to serve. Without hesitation, he said, โAbsolutely!" They loaded a dozen students and four adults into two vans and hit the road to our disaster relief site in Brewton, Alabama.
This was a chance for them to return the favor to those who served them five years ago.
โIt was just an awesome opportunity for us to be able to put what we say into action at our school and to have our kids go out and just be the hands and feet of Christ. Itโs a blessing to families, but itโs also a blessing for us,โ Principal Mortimer said.
We are so grateful God has allowed these students and hundreds of other volunteers to share the hope of Jesus in these communities. More volunteers are needed - go to https://t.co/B2AFhby8s1 to find out how you can get involved with serving at one of our disaster relief locations.
