Two weeks ago, I sent out a blog post inviting you to support and aid the victims of the largest wildfire in Washington State’s history. Mars Hill has created a temporarily restricted fund (Washington State Wildfire Relief Fund) dedicated to the support of victims. Relief efforts include but are not limited to the immediate and interim direct relief to victims, their families, and affected churches, as well as long-term rebuilding efforts.
I am excited to announce that at the time of this communication, just over $41,000 has been given to the victims of the Carlton Complex Wildfire, including a $10,000 donation from Mars Hill Church! We received a thank you letter from Grace City Church in Wenatchee saying:
“Already, your money has provided fuel to drivers who are delivering generators, breathing machines, and much-needed equipment to relief centers across this region. It has also provided gas cards to victims so that they can continue to run those generators.”
Thank you!
But there is still so much more to do.
I had the opportunity to talk with Pastor Josh McPherson from Grace City Church earlier this week. Check out the video to see what Jesus is doing there to redeem and rescue and find out how you can help!
“. . . To grant to those who mourn in Zion—to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit . . .” (Isaiah 61:3a).
