PRAY FERVENTLY

  • For church and community leaders as they make decisions about how to care for people over the next several months. It is currently estimated that 153 homes were destroyed by this tornado. Coordinating this response effort is no small task. 
  • For the Greenfield community as the full impact of this disaster settles in. We talked to a homeowner last week who was born and raised in Greenfield and the shock of seeing your neighborhood destroyed extends to your network of friends and family too. This will be a long recovery process.
  • For God’s provision of the needed resources and funding to support the team delivering hope day after day. 
  • That hearts would be open to the Good News as individuals and ministries seek to serve and care for this community in the name of Jesus. 

GO COURAGEOUSLY

  • Volunteer as an individual or with a group of friends from work or church. Our Domestic Team Director, Dennis Anderson, and Barb Meister, our Domestic Team Administrator, have been deployed to SW Iowa for a month already with some of our part-time staff and hundreds of volunteers. They would welcome your help!

    • Single or Multiple Days: Fill out the form above and Barb will help personalize your volunteer opportunity. She will be coordinating volunteers from interested groups to help with clean-up efforts in town and clearing fields in rural areas. Teams need to bring gloves, work boots, and lunch. A suggested daily donation per person to GoServ Global would help keep us serving families. 
    • Going will continue to be important as communities start to get overwhelmed and warn out from the initial cleanup work, so if you can’t come right away, that’s okay! We’ll be serving for months. 

GIVE GENEROUSLY

    • GoServ Global’s domestic team will be a part of a long-term response, needing substantial financial support to help with recovery, debris removal, and rebuilding coordination.  Please give to the GoServ Global Disaster Response by clicking the give icon or “Help Us Deploy” buttons at the top of the page. 
    • Join Team Hope! This mission happens because of generous givers like you! Choose to fuel the mission of sharing God’s love and meeting needs through monthly giving. By joining TEAMHOPE you help bridge the gap.
