Bringing hope when crisis comes
CENTRAL TEXAS FLOODS
Central Texas experienced catastrophic flash flooding overnight into July 4. In some areas near Kerrville and San Angelo, up to 14.46 inches of rain fell—more than a season’s worth in just hours. The Guadalupe River rose 22 feet in three hours, reaching its second-highest level on record before floodwaters damaged monitoring equipment. This is considered a 1-in-100-year event, and its impact is severe. The situation remains active. Roads are washed out, rescues are ongoing, and many families are displaced.
We are actively monitoring the ongoing needs with ADRN and local officials. If you are a Hill Country family or friend who was directly impacted by this flood and in need of assistance, please contact us here.
Support Needed for Recovery Efforts
Hill Country Bible Church is partnering with ADRN as they are working to provide immediate relief but we need your help to continue the mission. Let's come together to embody Christ's love and bring hope to those suffering.
Here’s how you can make a difference:
PRAYER: Please continue to lift up the families impacted by this tragedy and those courageously working in the search and rescue efforts. There has been over 20 confirmed fatalities and more than 20 listed as still missing from Mystic Christian Camp plus others along the flood routes.
Your gift makes a tangible impact, offering comfort, dignity, and hope in the midst of despair. 100% of all donations will go to the disaster response and clean up efforts.
VOLUNTEER: We are actively monitoring the ongoing needs in coordination with ADRN and local officials, and will post updated serving opportunities here as we continue to assess and mobilize resources in the coming days. Right now, there is an need for volunteers to support cleanup efforts following last month’s devastating microburst storms in Austin. We are responding this Saturday, July 12th, and we need hands and hearts ready to serve. Join the team by signing up here.
Survivor Care: ADRN is sending essential supplies to affected areas. Directly purchase supplies by visiting their Amazon Wish List.
