<p>As Hurricane Harvey’s flood waters continue to rise, we are watching and praying to know how to help. We <strong>pray</strong> for the people of Texas, many of whom are experiencing the loss of all their earthly possessions, and we are <strong>watching</strong> to determine how best to help. (“Ready…<em>Shoot! </em>Aim” is a poor strategy.)</p>
<p>Here are some answers to the many messages we have received in the past 24-48 hours:</p>
<p><strong>YES.</strong> We do have strong partners on the ground with whom we can serve.</p>
<p><strong>YES.</strong> We are open to organizing teams to serve on the ground in the areas most impacted.</p>
<p><strong>YES.</strong> It is too soon to know exactly what form our help will take. But whatever form, it will most certainly end up coming alongside local churches/believers on the ground to strengthen their serve.</p>
<p><strong>What can you do now?</strong><br />
1) Pray.</p>
<p>2) Go. Consider whether God would have you join an Encompass team to travel to the damage site to help. More about this to come.</p>
<p>3) Give. Although we do not yet know specifics, you can trust us to use and/or channel your funds to help the people of Texas recover from this disaster.</p>
<p>Be among the first to give to help:</p>
<p><strong><em>-By check  </em></strong></p>

<p><strong><em>-Online Giving</em></strong></p>

<li>Give by credit card at: <a href="http://www.encompassworldpartners.org/projects">encompassworldpartners.org/projects</a></li>

</ul>
<p>IF you or your church is interested partnering with us to send a team (or sending a team member) to help, please contact Barb Wooler at <a href="mailto:bwooler@encompassworld.org">bwooler@encompassworld.org</a>.</p>
<p>PLEASE also let us know if you are planning to send a team on your own.</p>
