Hurricane Harvey Update In Texas, 25 UPCI churches and 16 pastors’ homes have been damaged or
flooded as well as the homes of many other ministers and saints. Both
the South Texas District and the Texas District have set up relief funds
and have organized teams to deliver supplies and provide labor for
cleanup and rebuilding. Other districts and churches are partnering with
them. The UPCI has set up a relief fund and will assist churches in
coordination with the districts. The two UPCI-endorsed relief agencies,
Reach Out America and Compassion Services International, are aiding the
affected communities. District representatives are also coordinating
efforts with the Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The UPCI Loan Fund is working with churches to defer loan payments as
needed, and Points of Refuge is offering guidance to ministers and their
families.
