On Sunday, September 1, 2019 Hurricane Dorian barreled into the Bahamas, stalling for over 24 hours over the islands, wreaking havoc and destruction in the wake of strong winds and towering storm surges. The estimated costs to aid our brethren far exceed our disaster relief reserve. We are, therefore, raising additional funds to cover this shortfall. We appreciate the support and prayers for our brethren and all of those suffering from this devastating storm. Chuck Smith, our senior pastor for the Caribbean, will be assessing needs and distributing aid when he is able to travel there.

*update September 17, 2019* we have far exceeded our goal, and are so grateful for the generosity and love for our brethren. We will be posting updates as aid is distributed.
