Rolling Hills Community Church

Be a part of something to help those in need by giving a gift through RHCC’s Alternative Christmas Market during December 15—January 5, 2020. Let's re-think how we do Christmas in such a way that others experience the grace and love that they need and we can be a part of what Christmas is truly about. See the newsletter here for more information!

Here's a high level report of what is happening and how we are responding:

The flooding has had a delaying impact. These initial days of response have taken longer than anticipated to recover from as water rescues, road closures, and water levels rising, continued through the weekend. Key church leaders and community leaders have been focused on the primary needs of providing meals, getting families into local shelters, and distribution of supplies. The impact has been widespread, affecting at least 4 counties: Jefferson (Beaumont), Hardin, Orange and Chambers. There are 1,066 homes affected within the Beaumont area alone, but we expect that number to rise and it doesn't yet include smaller cities like Winnie which were severely impacted. We anticipate affected homes will be in the thousands.

Here's how people can help now and how we expect to be mobilizing in the next few days.

Supplies Distribution: We are collecting Care Kits and Clean Up Kits to send to these affected areas. Click on the links above to see the lists. The drop off location is our Hope Family Thrift Store between 10:00AM and 5:30PM, Mon-Sat.

Clean Up: There will be a significant need for clean up, and we expect that need to continue over the next several weeks. We are planning to work through an organization we have mobilized through in the past, but are waiting to secure housing and food for volunteers. We hope to send you detailed information later this week.

Emotional / Spiritual Care Teams: The emotional need is great. We can only imagine the feeling of hopelessness and despair that could be gripping the hearts of many who just finished recovering from Harvey. We are preparing to mobilize ADRN Trained volunteers (both CISM Trained and Basic Trained) into the Beaumont Area by either mid or late this week. The timing will depend on local leaders identifying Multi Agency Resource Centers, which we are currently discussing with them.

Give: Individuals, the Church and the community in Greater Austin can give to help meet the needs. We expect to give away at least $100,000 in helping meet initial emergency financial needs through the emotional care trained volunteer teams. We are believing the Lord bring forth much more for the longer term needs of these communities. So far, approximately $5,000 has been raised. People can give at adrn.org/give.

Pray: Believe with us for breakthrough. These communities need help from on high. Father, give strength and wisdom to local leaders. Infuse hope, by the power of Your Spirit, to every heart overwhelmed with discouragement. Bring forth the resources these communities and families need, and unite Your Church in these areas like never before, to shine forth Your light!
