"There's a lot of folks who have lost everything,” John Hall with Texas Baptist Men said. “They're looking for help. More than anything they are looking for hope."Texas Baptist Men are always ready to respond to storm-damaged areas with whatever services are needed in the aftermath.
"Our chainsaw volunteers who cut down trees and limbs out of yards, our flood recovery teams which clean out homes, our chaplains, all of our folks are ready to go,” Hall said. “Ready to serve. Many of them are packed right now in case that call comes that we are needed in Florida.""As of this moment from the north Texas region or basically Dallas Fort Worth area seven Red Crossers are on their way or already there along with other people from Georgia, the Carolinas, etc.
