ICOC HotNews Video: Oklahoma HOPE Disaster Relief

Tat01 • June 28, 2013
Last week ICOC HotNews announced a call for help from HOPEww and the International Churches of Christ in Oklahoma. Now, after traveling out to ground zero ourselves, we can cover all the remaining details.

Here's a quick review for those unfamiliar with the tragedy. On May 20th, a massive EF-5 tornado struck the city of Moore, Oklahoma killing twenty-four people and causing an estimated two billion dollars in damages to houses and businesses. In response, HOPEww is inviting disciples to help the tornado victims by volunteering in Oklahoma in July or by donating to the cause. This episode of ICOC HotNews reminds us of the importance of serving and of the tragedies that happen here in the United States.
