Never rely on government. "Love your neighbor as yourself." It is rewarding to help people you do not know. In turn, you never know when God will provide such help for you.

I’m in Sarasota, FL. We took a direct hit from Milton overnight. No electricity, Verizon down, cars in my parking lot crushed by 60 foot oak trees. Massive destruction and tornadoes. We are ok. Not as bad as NC. God Bless. 🙏🏼🇺🇸

I have been a supporter of Operation Blessing for decades, yet I am overwhelmed with a sense of being blessed in knowing that my support is helping others in WNC in a critical, life changing way. From well-digging to home rebuilding, OB is there in catastrophes to bring the tangible love of Jesus to those in need all over the world. I never foresaw the need to be so great in my own wonderful state of NC! Thank you, CBN and OB, for always showing up and loving others in such manifest ways.
