Samaritan's Purse sends disaster relief unit to Arkansas


(From Samaritan's Purse)

A violent storm system swept across the central and southern United States on Sunday, causing widespread devastation in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Iowa.
The storm produced a deadly twister that killed at least 16 people in Arkansas. Most of the destruction took place in Faulkner County, where entire neighborhoods were wiped out in the towns of Mayflower and Vilonia.
Samaritan's Purse staff members are assessing damage, and a Disaster Relief Unit has been deployed. Volunteers will soon begin clearing debris and sharing the hope of Jesus Christ with storm victims.
More severe weather is forecast for today. Please pray for victims of this tragic storm. Monitor our website for the latest updates, including a call for volunteers.
