On Saturday June 22, extreme rainfall led to the Little Sioux River in Spencer, IA overflowing its banks and destroying hundreds of homes and businesses. In the immediate aftermath of the flooding, CrossWinds Church served as one of the two community shelter locations. CrossWinds Church is actively helping with clean up and recovery in the city and has been in contact with ReachGlobal Crisis Response.

CrossWinds has received a number of questions concerning ways that other churches can help. Here are a number of ways to do so:

1. Pray for the leadership of CrossWinds Church as they seek wisdom in how to care for the hurting and displaced in their community.

2. If your church would like to aid in the clean up efforts, please contact information@crosswinds.tv.

3. If you are interested in giving to the clean up efforts, you can contribute to the CrossWinds flood recovery fund here (link: https://crosswindsefca.churchcenter.com/giving/to/flood-recovery).

Thank you for keeping the community of Spencer in your prayers during this challenging time.
