Presbyterian Disaster Assistance - Hurricane Ian

 

Within the last few days, PDA has reached out to presbyteries in Ian's path in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina as well as to partners in Cuba, where Ian made landfall early Tuesday as a Category 3 hurricane. The hurricane plunged the island into darkness, partially due to power being turned off ahead of the storm to prevent electrocutions and fires. 

We join together to lift our prayers for those who have already been impacted by Ian and those about to be impacted. As people of faith, we stand ready to partner with presbyteries, congregations and communities to meet the immediate and long-term needs.

An excerpt from a prayer by PDA Director, Rev. Dr. Laurie Kraus (read the full prayer here):
