Disaster Recovery Centers across Mississippi Set up Friday to help victims hit by a string of tornadoes in June.
Originally, doors were expected to open Friday in Moss Point, but it was delayed. Now, they are expected to open Saturday at 9.a.m at the Riverfront Community Center.In an incredible story of unity, another church family offered a helping hand.
“Just complete annihilation and destruction like I’ve never seen before,” said Kevin Henry, pastor at First Missionary Baptist.Henry said he rushed to town after receiving frantic phone calls of mass devastation at the church.Sunlight beamed through the roof and onto pews draped in remnants of drywall. The windows looked like they were bashed in with a baseball bat, and big objects were thrown across the room like toys.
“The pastor actually reached out to me after the storm and said God has led me to reach out to you and offer our building for your use in the event you need a place to worship,” said Henry. “I called him back and said sure, that’s awesome. Let’s come together and do it, thought I wasn’t sure how we were going to do it.
“Time is going to continue, and we have to go on as well,” said Henry. “The best is yet to come. Even though the storm took some things. It didn’t take our resilience, and it didn’t take our hope away.”
