DALLAS (ABP) — Six Texas Baptist Men disaster relief teams have been deployed to serve in the wake of devastating tornados in Alabama. Five chainsaw teams and a shower unit are on the scene or soon will be en route to the affected area.
The relief teams will work out of Tuscaloosa and Coleman, Ala. TBM is working in conjunction with the Southern Baptist Convention North American Mission Board and Alabama Baptist Men.
“Texas Baptist Men is responding right now to help the victims of the devastating tornado in Tuscaloosa,” said TBM Associate Executive Director Mickey Lenamon.
“We expect to be in the Alabama area for many weeks to come. Please be in prayer for our volunteers for their safety and that they can be the presence of Christ to these hurting people."
