Just the Crumbs Shares Hope
Jeff Herring
Just the Crumbs, the disaster relief arm of BMA Global, is still on the ground, bringing hope to many who have no hope. Even six weeks after Hurricane Helene brought widespread devastation to areas of North Carolina, the need remains great.
Many in the BMA family have responded to the call to give and go in support of the mission of bringing hope to those affected by the storm, but the need is still great. BMA Global Short-term Missions Coordinator Angela Rice would love to connect you or a team from your church with those on the ground. They need anyone who is able to serve to come and support their mission. If you can fill a plate and hand it to someone, there is a spot for you! If you have people in your church who can help with clean-up efforts (i.e., operate chainsaws, remove debris, etc.), the need for this type of help is also great. Just the Crumbs is currently serving in three different locations — Asheville, Lake Lure and Bakersville. If you are willing to serve, as a group from your church or as an individual, please contact Angela Rice at (214) 498-3041 or angela@bmaglobal.org.
