What are we doing in Washington, Illinois?!

The people of Washington, Illinois and the surrounding area were devastated by a deadly tornado outbreak on November 17, 2013. Over 500 homes and businesses were destroyed by winds which reached 190mph! This was the deadliest and most destructive tornado on record for the month of November. By coordinating thousands of volunteers, Bethany Community Church has been working since that time to provide relief to the community. Bethany is serving by hosting work teams and clean-up crews, and arranging housing for the displaced.
 
Please join us in this interfaith opportunity, where we come together in community to help those who are in need.

We are leaving on Wednesday evening, July 16th, and returning Saturday evening, July 19th. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we travel and serve.
