Volunteers have descended upon Kerr County, Texas, in the days following last weekend’s disastrous flood. 

While many have come to help with searches, cleanup efforts and donations, others are looking to heal the community in a different way. 

Several faith-based groups are working to help survivors and victims’ families lean on God as they grapple with the long road to recovery. 

Josh Holland, international director of the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, spoke with Fox News Digital about the impact of ministering to people who have gone through recent tragedies. The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team focuses on the spiritual and emotional needs of people in crisis, making it a good fit to help those in Kerrville through this difficult time.

Marcus Breaux, the National Director at Soldiers of Christ Ministries, wants people to remember that there are multiple ways to help those devastated by the floods in Texas.

“Do not be discouraged. There are ways for people to get involved, whether it’s donations, whether it is giving a pack of paper towels or toilet paper, whatever, there’s a way that you can get involved. I ask people to pray on how the Holy Spirit allows them to do it and what their response is, but there is definitely a need in this community,” Breaux said.

Additionally, Matt Husted of the Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team told Fox News Digital that giving people “reassurance that God is looking over them” is important in times of crisis.

There are several faith-based organizations already on the ground assisting victims. Many people working with these organizations encouraged everyone to pray for those who were injured, those who lost loved ones and those whose homes were damaged or destroyed, as well as first responders.
