Our value of Going Into God s World includes responding when there s a crisis. Calvary is currently reaching out to several churches in the Houston area. We believe the local church is uniquely positioned to provide immediate, but especially longterm relief. We will keep you posted on how you can help once we make those connections. In the meantime, if you are inclined to give now, we encourage you to give through World Relief (worldrelief.org), Convoy of Hope (convoyofhope.org), and/or Samaritan's Purse (samaritanspurse.org).
