Helene Relief Phase 2: Rebuild Lives, Restore Hope

The golden light filtered through the trees in Black Mountain, North Carolina. The branches still bore the bruises of Hurricane Helene. Beneath them, a tent full of volunteers gathered around a handmade altar—worn lumber, humble prayers, and hearts wide open.

Kyle stood and shared, his voice quiet but sure.
“We are all growing—in this space, happening for the first time—happening so fast. Nobody knows what's next, but we are trying our best. I know that God does—stepping into the unknown, not knowing our purpose but saying yes anyway.”

His words weren’t polished. They were raw and true.

Disaster recovery is not about neat timelines or easy wins. It’s about digging through uncertainty, pressing into the mess, and saying yes to God in places where hope once ran dry.

That same day, a team from Palmcroft was at Mr. Chip’s house. Ten days of isolation. A mudslide so thick it nearly took their home. And then—a door cleared. Prayers answered. Hope arriving in the form of a shovel.

Every scoop of mud was a declaration:
You are not forgotten.
You are seen.
You are worth showing up for.

Later that evening, the group returned to their camp. Bone-tired. Sweaty. Sore. But glowing. Because they weren’t just rebuilding homes—they were finding their purpose.

“God has put each and every one of us here for a reason,” Kyle said softly. “You are important to God. If you know that, you know your purpose in growing the Kingdom.”

In these hills and hollers, amid broken beams and bent knees, we’re seeing the Church rise—not in grand plans, but in surrendered yeses.

Will you join us?
