“God is not caught off guard by tragedy, He plans it. And He will use this latest disaster for His glory and for our good,” said Arklie Hooten, director of MNA’s Disaster Response Department. “At this point we are confident that our response will be long-term, and we anticipate that we will begin mobilizing volunteers very soon, as soon as we can ensure access and safety.”

“Please pray that the Lord will comfort our church family in Iowa and provide for them,” said Hooten. “Pray that God will provide PCA members with strengthened faith and opportunities to serve fellow believers; pray also for God’s people as they serve others in these communities, demonstrating the gospel through Spirit-led acts of mercy. “
