storm damage

Brooklyn’s Church of Gethsemane battered by storm

A Presbyterian church that ministers to current and formerly incarcerated people was heavily damaged last month in Brooklyn, New York, when Tropical Storm Henri drenched the Northeast.

In times of need, local volunteers step up

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) volunteers Richard and Susan Caldwell had been praying about their mission work and where God would lead them to when fate stepped in. In April, tornadoes tore through their state the morning after Easter, sparing their South Carolina home but leaving extensive damage just blocks from their church, Seneca Presbyterian, and killing one person.
