From Executive Minister Patty King Bilyeu

The American Baptist Churches of the Great Rivers Region is saddened by the devastation and loss of life due to the tornados that hit the area across Southern Illinois and Missouri.  We are currently working at assisting those who have been impacted directly.  If you or your congregation would like to send funds to help displaced families and food distribution, please give directly to the Great Rivers Region.  Designate the giving as “GRR Tornado Disaster Relief.” 100% of your giving will help those who have been affected by this event.  Teams may be needed later to help with clean-up.  I am aware that this will take some time.  Please keep all those who have lost their homes, churches, and family members of lost loved ones in your prayers.
