EFCA UPDATE SPECIAL BROADCAST

CA Fires Crisis Response

October 26, 2007

The fires affecting the Southern CA area have impacted almost 1,000,000 people and destroyed over 1,600 homes.  Many have been displaced and many more will need help in the clean-up and recovery. This situation opens the door for the Body to show the love of Christ.  We have learned that some who have lost homes include families who are part of several EFCA congregations in the region. Go to http://www.efcawest.com, the EFCA West District Web site, for additional information and updates regarding ongoing needs and outreach opportunities. We are working with the EFCA West District to gain a greater understanding of their needs, and those of their local churches and church families. We are also receiving funds to help with the long term recovery and ongoing crisis response needs.  To donate to the EFCA Crisis Response fund using our secure server, go to https://www.efca.org/apps/giving/?designation=Crisis%20Response%2021709-3928.
