Israel
If you want to help the people who have been driven from their homes and livelihoods in Israel, you can do so by giving below. We will be sending monies given to that account in October to ministries that we work with around the world (Mercy Chefs, Samaritan’s Purse, etc.) and to our missionaries working in Israel.
Disaster Relief
Hurricane Season June 1st—Nov 30th
Seventeen years ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated our region, leaving many of our people without homes or businesses, and some even lost loved ones. Our Celebration campuses at the time were also greatly damaged, and 60% of our members were permanently displaced to other cities and states. Last year, we were hit once again by Hurricane Ida and tornados that caused extensive damage to large parts of Louisiana.
Despite these challenges, the Lord has always brought us back together as a church and as a region. We were able to bounce back thanks to the compassion and generosity of Christians from around the nation and world. As we enter hurricane season, we want to extend that same kind of compassion and generosity to those who may be affected by any storms or hurricanes that could impact our region. We have provided a list of resources below to help you prepare early.
