Kentucky Tornadoes
October 21, 2022
IDES continues to provide relief for those in Kentucky in addition to those in Florida. Check out a conversation between one of the families in Kentucky and our disaster site manager.
"Well, I guess you're leaving us to go to Florida and work..",
"No! we are here until your house is done"
We are there for those we are helping until the job is done. It is important to IDES to see the work we start to its finish. We continue to rebuild homes for families in Western Kentucky following the tornadoes that hit last year. We are still accepting volunteers to assist with these relief efforts as well as donations to our Kentucky efforts.

"A hug, a prayer, a handshake, or a smile, you never know what a difference these little gestures can make. Please continue to pray with us as we minister to the folks of Kentucky."

Spoiled Food and Jesus
God provides us with opportunities to share his love to others everyday. See how one of IDES volunteers in Kentucky was able to use something as basic and ordinary as spoiled food to share to the most extraordinary thing, the Good News and love of Jesus Christ.
