Responding to Major Winter Storm

North American Disaster Relief teams are assessing affected areas ahead of deployment. Please pray for communities in need right now.

Samaritan’s Purse is monitoring the impact of a major storm that swept from Texas and Oklahoma to New England over the past several days. Winter Storm Fern ushered in a dangerous mix of ice, sleet, snow, and extreme cold. Parts of the Southeast got hit hardest. Hundreds of thousands of U.S. residents are without power.

North American Disaster Relief teams are preparing to assess several affected locations in cooperation with local emergency management officials and church leaders. Extensive damage has been reported in and near Oxford, Mississippi, and Nashville, Tennessee, among other places.

Check back here or at our U.S. Disaster Relief and Rebuild page for updates on volunteer opportunities.

Please pray for the thousands of families who are still without power and for local churches as they minister to those in need. Pray also for our teams as they prepare to travel to these communities.
