Volunteers have descended upon Kerr County, Texas, in the days following last weekend’s disastrous flood.
While many have come to help with searches, cleanup efforts and donations, others are looking to heal the community in a different way.
Several faith-based groups are working to help survivors and victims’ families lean on God as they grapple with the long road to recovery.
Josh Holland, the global director of the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, shared insights with Fox News Digital about their role in helping individuals who have recently faced traumatic events. The team prioritizes addressing the spiritual and emotional requirements of those in crisis, making them particularly suited to assist the Kerrville community during these challenging times.
Marcus Breaux, who serves as the National Director at Soldiers of Christ Ministries, emphasizes that there are numerous ways to support those impacted by the flooding in Texas.
“Don’t lose heart. There are various avenues for people to contribute, whether through donations, providing essentials like paper towels or toilet paper—there’s definitely a way for you to participate. I urge people to seek guidance through prayer about how they can contribute, as there is certainly a significant need in this community,” Breaux expressed.

Additionally, Matt Husted of the Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team told Fox News Digital that giving people “reassurance that God is looking over them” is important in times of crisis.
There are several faith-based organizations already on the ground assisting victims. Many people working with these organizations encouraged everyone to pray for those who were injured, those who lost loved ones and those whose homes were damaged or destroyed, as well as first responders.
