Peak fire conditions have characterized much of Hawaii for some time, so when blazes broke out on Maui the fire swept across the land in a deadly blaze. At least 106 people have died so far.

Truro Anglican Church (Fairfax, VA) has sent a work team to Harlem Heights, Florida to help rebuild homes and restore lives in a multi-ethnic community affected by the devastation of Hurricane Ian.

Parents, grandparents, and children/grandchildren are invited to serve together.

When one thinks of disaster response, mucking flooded houses and clearing trees and debris come to mind. And while these are important tasks during emergency relief, long-term recovery means so much more to survivors of a natural disaster.

The Falls Church Anglican is participating with ARDF (Anglican Relief and Development Fund) and other Anglican churches in a Disaster Relief Mission Trip to Florida. ARDF will be partnering with AIM (Adventures in Missions), a nondenominational Christian relief organization that is on-the-ground in Ft. Myers.

ARDF is collecting funds for the disaster in Turkey/Syria through the Joseph Fund, and is currently working to connect with partners on the ground. 

Through the help of the ARDF, we have been able to feed 3000 people, purchase much needed heaters and supplies for winter and start collecting items for babies.

On Sunday August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida slammed into the coast of Louisiana with sustained winds just below that of a category five hurricane. We are praying for those without power and for those affected by flash floods and heavy rainfall.

In recent weeks, as we have read the news from Afghanistan, our hearts are troubled. As our military mission there has ended, so many Afghan refugees are arriving here – and the DC/Maryland/Virginia area is a major focus for their immediate resettlement. In short, we have a missional opportunity to show the love of Christ to these Afghan families, our new neighbors, welcoming the stranger (Matt. 25:39) and showing true hospitality to those in need. We have an unprecedented opportunity work in unity with area churches to meet these needs.

Anglican Church in North America churches in Texas are reaching out to those left hungry, thirsty, and homeless due to the ice, extreme cold, and the widespread power outages affecting the region.
