Helping Hands: Texas Churches Donate Relief Goods to Tornado Victims in Ciudad Acuna Monica Cantilero - Christian Today
go to original June 5, 2015

Churches in America have been helping Mexican victims, who live just five miles across the border, after a Class 4 tornado hit last week, killing 14 people and injuring about 300 more. The twister also damaged 4,000 homes, leaving many under the rubble.

Pastors and their communities have been stockpiling diapers, bread, milk, and water which they will send to victims. Grace Community Church, Trinity House of Worship, Victory Baptist Church and Baruch HaShem Messianic Jewish Congregation are just some of the many congregations participating in the humanitarian effort.

"Considering the circumstances, people are rushing," said Samuel Garcia, pastor of Trinity House.

"One of the things that you see across the Bible is the benevolence of God. ... I believe when the church assists, it's not so much looking at whether they are American citizens. It's about one person helping another human person," Garcia said, who explained that the church has a huge responsibility in helping its neighbors.
