Consider downloading this new disaster relief update video and showing it during your service this Sunday. It is less than two minutes long, but it is a powerful way to show the need, what God is doing and how we can help. You can view and download the video at https://vimeo.com/233019497
Individuals can help by praying, giving and going. We appreciate your support for Hurricane Harvey, and we ask you to do the same for the Hurricane Irma response.
Pray for those in the path of Hurricane Irma. Pray that we will be the hands and feet of Jesus, and pray for the volunteers who will be going to assist.
Give to help those in need. We have established a Hurricane Irma fund. To make a contribution, please make your check payable to NCBM/Baptists On Mission, designated for Hurricane Irma Disaster Relief, and mail to: NCBM, Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, P.O. Box 1107, Cary, NC 27512. You may also give online.
Also, please support the North Carolina Missions Offering (NCMO). All of NCBM’s regular budget comes from the NCMO.
