On Sunday, April 27, an outbreak of tornadoes tore through seven Southern and Midwestern states, devastating several communities. The hardest-hit states were Arkansas and Oklahoma. Across eastern North Carolina, multiple tornadoes touched down over the weekend damaging and destroying more than 300 homes and causing damage in more than eight counties. You can help UMCOR respond to these disasters by keeping all those affected in your prayers; by giving to UMCOR Disaster Response Advance #901670 and by working with your church community to provide relief supplies, especially health kits. Please wait to send mission teams until we have a request.
