NEBRASKA – Samaritan’s Purse volunteers are responding in Jesus’ Name in Nebraska and Iowa to help homeowners recover from deadly tornadoes that ripped through the Midwest and Plains.
Michael & Sandra Kotschwar – Homeowners:
Friday afternoon, the sirens were going off. Finally, I went outside and saw the big black cloud coming. Within two minutes, our roof was gone.
Tony Williamson – Samaritan’s Purse:
Samaritan’s Purse is on the ground in Nebraska and Iowa responding to the devastating storms that hit on Friday, the 26th of April. We will be helping with temporary tarps, moving debris from the yard, and helping people to recover those precious personal belongings from these properties. We want to share the hope and love of Jesus by serving them in this tangible way, bringing a little bit of hope to a situation that really seems hopeless.
Jim Rogers – Samaritan’s Purse:
Biggest thing that we need of anything at all is prayer. Go to prayer with the Lord. Ask for the help here. Ask for the healing here.
