<h2>Local Church Creates Reasons to be Thankful Post-Harvey</h2>
<p>Members of the Houston Northwest Seventh-day Adventist Church youth group delivered 25 boxes of food to people still affected by Harvey at a local homeless shelter, the week before Thanksgiving. <a href="http://texasadventist.org/?p=3163&amp;preview=true">Click here to read more.</a></p>

<h2>Southwestern Adventist University Responds to Hurricane Harvey</h2>
<p>This weekend, twenty-six Southwestern Adventist University students, faculty, staff, and Lillian Fire Chief Keith Fleming spent several days at The Oaks Adventist Christian School, located in Cypress, just outside of Houston. The team worked to repair damage from Hurricane Harvey. As the work bee progressed, the number of volunteers grew close to 300, including locals and many Southwestern Adventist University alumni.</p>
<p>Southwestern Adventist University has alumni, friends, and family of current students in the impacted area. “Being here at school (in Keene) watching everyone back home lose everything just broke my heart,” shares Kimberly Torres, sophomore nursing major and Victoria, Texas resident. In response, Kimberly immediately contacted all her friends on campus to help by gathering needed supplies. She soon had a pile so large that she had to ask for help in getting it all to her hometown.</p>
<p>Faculty, staff, and students continue to organize themselves, aligning with other organizations for maximum impact. Southwestern’s Enactus team contacted the local Harvest House and quickly organized to help gather a list of donations needed as Harvest House prepares to help evacuees relocating to Johnson County.  The University also quickly partnered with Adventist Community Services to raise funds for Disaster Relief Kits and organize students to assemble the kits. Through the Spiritual Life and Development Office, the campus has responded to other requests for help, such as loading trucks bound for Houston with supplies, volunteering at other Johnson County organizations, and supporting efforts at area churches.</p>
<p>“We’ve been witness to such a spirit of camaraderie,” says Dr. Ken Shaw, Southwestern Adventist University president. “We’re working on these projects, and we’ve got community members jumping in, and our own alumni coming to help. It is wonderful to see our legacy of service in action.”</p>

<h2>FEMA Shelter Field Guide</h2>
<p>The operation of emergency shelters helps communities provide a safe and secure place for individuals and families to stay before, during and/or after a disaster. The Shelter Field Guide is intended to provide organizations without prior disaster experience with a basic overview of shelter operations that will help them to open and manage an emergency shelter. The Guide also contains information helpful to organizations, such as churches, that may wish to support the operation of a shelter. The Guide refers to an organization acting in this capacity as a “supporting agency.”<br />

<h2>Hurricane Harvey Leaves a Path of Destruction While Adventists Rally and Persevere</h2>
<p>Alvarado, TX, August 31, 2017 &#8211; As the Texas governor proclaims the “worst is not yet over” people all over the world watch wanting to do something, anything to help. Josh Jetter and Rob Parrish, North Dallas Adventist Academy athletic director and chaplain, assisted with water rescues of 179 people from an assisted living center. They are still there assisting, but not everyone has a boat or is able to navigate one for water rescues.</p>
<p>Adventist Community Services Disaster Response volunteers distributed 194 clothing packets and comfort kits to people in San Antonio shelters. “Thankfully, many in those shelters self-deployed so were able to bring clothing with them,” Julie Gonzales, Texas Conference Adventist Community Services assistant director, shared. She and her husband, Marshall Gonzales, Texas Conference Adventist Community Services director, are now setting up in Rockport to assist people there. “We need children’s everyday clothing and women’s plus sizes at our staging are in Keene to create more kits,” she added.</p>
<p>Chisholm Trail Academy in Keene, Texas, hosted a Carter BloodCare drive that will save 162 lives because of people’s generosity. Peggy Furr, Chisholm Trail Academy registrar and blood drive coordinator, thought this one was their biggest turnout, but was waiting for final numbers. Carter BloodCare is the staging area for blood products destined for areas impacted by Hurricane Harvey.</p>
<p>As reports of churches and schools being flooded surface, the real work begins as they navigate a new normal for them. The Oaks Adventist Academy in Cypress, Texas, just recovered from being flooded two years ago. Now they have to recover again. Samuel Vega, Houston Spanish Spring Branch Seventh-day Adventist Church associate pastor, said the school was hit harder than it was last time . . . “It is tough to see” as children were taking classes here just last week.</p>
<p>In addition to The Oaks school, Houston Baytown Spanish, Houston Spanish Alief church, Houston Spanish Southaven church, Houston Spanish West church, Houston International, Huntsville Spanish Company, Houston West church (gym), and Houston Gulfhaven church have reported some damage. Seven pastors have been displaced because of the storm. No doubt more stories will come in the coming days and weeks.</p>
<p>“Seventh-day Adventists have a strong faith,” shared Carlos Craig, president of the Texas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. “Texan Seventh-day Adventists have Texas-sized faith and a determination to recover. This is definitely a challenging time, but we will rally and persevere in this crisis. Thank you to those who have donated to assist with relief efforts. Your donations are appreciated as this will be a long-term recovery process.”</p>
<p>Contact the Texas Adventist Community Services Depot for information on donating clothing or cleaning kits (817) 641-7679 or email &#97;&#x63;s&#x40;t&#120;&#x73;d&#x61;.&#x6f;r&#103;.</p>

<h2>Texas Conference Women&#8217;s Retreat Postponed until Spring 2018</h2>
<p>The upcoming Women’s Ministries Retreat scheduled for September 15-17 in Houston has been postponed until Spring 2018. More information will be shared once the new date is solidified. Thank you for your understanding! Please continue to pray for all those affected by this storm.</p>

<h2>Texas Adventist Community Services Disaster Response Encourages Volunteers to Donate for Cleanup Kits</h2>
<p>As the rain continues to pour in Houston, Texas Adventist Community Services Disaster Response (TX ACS DR) deploys volunteers where it can in connection with federal and state requests.</p>
<p>“The number of people wanting to help around the world is incredible,” stated Marshall Gonzales, Texas Conference Adventist Community Services Disaster Response director. “Unfortunately, it is too soon to help in the Houston area. Rescue efforts need to continue and utilities secured before approved people can enter.”</p>
<p>Gonzales and his wife, Julie, assistant director, encourage those who want to help to donate money for cleanup kits. “These cleaning supplies enable residents affected by Hurricane Harvey begin the overwhelming job of cleanup,” Julie shared. “It is a simple, but helpful, way to say ‘we care.’”</p>
<p>TX ACS DR volunteers will deliver the buckets to residents affected by Hurricane Harvey, when able. Donations for the cost of a cleanup kit (about $50) can be donated online at <a href="http://texasadventist.org/hurricaneharvey">texasadventist.org/hurricaneharvey</a> or send a check, payable to TX ACS DR, to: TX ACS DR Hurricane Harvey, PO Box 800, Alvarado, TX 76009.</p>
<p><em>Texas ACS DR is part of a nation-wide relief agency responding to disaster situations by distributing comfort kits, blankets, clothes, and cleanup buckets to those in need. They also manage donation sites and distribution centers.</em></p>
<hr />
<h2><strong>Texas Adventist Community Services Disaster Response Stands Ready to Serve</strong></h2>
<p>Texas Conference Adventist Community Services Disaster Response (ACS DR) volunteers from around Texas and as far as Puerto Rico are ready to assist with Hurricane Harvey needs. Rescues must occur and utilities made safe before volunteers are approved to enter the disaster zone.</p>
<p>In previous disaster situations, Texas ACS DR worked with donations management collecting and distributing emergency supplies. As with all situations, Texas ACS DR works closely with FEMA, the state Volunteer Agency Liaison (VAL), as well as other non-governmental organizations to assess each situation and review what resources are needed.</p>
<p>Donations to assist Texas ACS DR Hurricane Harvey response efforts can be given via PayPal on the Texas Conference website (<a href="http://texasadventist.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">texasadventist.org</a>) or at <a href="https://adventistgiving.org/#/org/ANWFFF/envelope/start" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AdventistGiving.org</a> under the line item “Texas ACS – Hurricane Harvey Victims.” For those interested in volunteering, please call (817) 790-2255 to leave your contact information for Marshall Gonzalez, Texas Conference Adventist Community Services Disaster Response Director or email <a href="&#x6d;&#x61;&#x69;&#108;&#116;o:A&#x43;&#x53;&#x40;&#x74;&#120;sda&#x2e;&#x6f;&#x72;&#x67;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#x41;&#x43;&#x53;&#x40;&#116;&#120;sda&#x2e;&#x6f;&#x72;&#x67;</a>. Please note that no one should self-deploy, but rather wait until VAL coordinates the response efforts from volunteer agencies such as Texas ACS DR.</p>
<p>Texas ACS DR is known throughout the state and national level, and responds to disaster situations by distributing comfort kits, blankets, clothes, and clean-up buckets to those in need, managing donation sites, and distribution centers. Thank you for your prayers and support.</p>
