Oklahoma City, Oklahoma |
In January, our pastor and two GPC members went with a small team from the Presbyterian Project to Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City suburbs experienced tremendous loss of life and property from tornadoes that swept through the area in May 2013. EF4 and EF5 tornadoes swept a mile-wide path that extended for 17 miles. The team worked with an organization called Samaritan's Purse to renovate a home damaged by the storms. |
