Hurricane Earl Relief Teams Needed! Go Before Labor Day!
Hurricane Earl made landfall in Belize early Thursday, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph. The Category 1 storm continued to pound the area with strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge after spreading drenching rain over the Central American country Wednesday night.
That is CNN’s description of Hurricane Earl’s landfall in Belize. Our staff, pastors, and other Belizean contacts have told us of homes destroyed, roofs ripped off, many downed trees, and lots of flooding. Many of the affected families don’t have the money to properly repair or rebuild their homes.
Hurricane Earl Relief Teams
Thirst Missions wants to send a few emergency teams to Belize to help with disaster relief. These would be teams of 8 or more. You can stay as long or as short as you would like, and the hotel stay trip will be offered at a steep discount of only $100/day per person. Teams will be dispatched to the areas most in need of help.
