PRAY. GIVE. SEND.

“for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part….your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness.”

- 2 Corinthians 8:2,14

Puerto Rico is still suffering the devastating effects of Hurricane Maria which hit the island territory on September 20th. Electricity, clean water, healthy food, batteries, and gas are scarce essentials most of these U.S. citizens do not have.

Our Response

The first week of October, I and two others with Cru were able to get to the island and help in a small way. Liberty Church and GAiN, the humanitarian arm of Cru sent us with supplies such as: 

• water filters 
• batteries 
• work gloves
• gas cans 
• flashlights 
• clothes 
• food
• money 
• wipes 
• drinks 
• snacks 
• medical supplies

Our quick response team was one of two sent to Puerto Rico with materials and funds to support and assess the situation so that we could learn what to do next. GAiN will be joined by other ministries in Cru such as the Campus Ministry and Athletes in Action. I'm hopeful for what's to come.
