Help in the Aftermath of Hurricane Ida

On Thursday, September 2, 2021, the morning after the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida fell upon New Jersey, the ABCNJ ministry team contacted all our churches and pastors. We have heard back from 6 of our churches who have suffered damage, ranging from minor (some water damage or one or two trees down) to major (roof or water damage).

Last week, ABHMS held a National Debriefing Roundtable where updates from various regions provided a better understanding of the impact of the recent storms in our communities. We are grateful for the work of ABHMS and Executive Director Dr. Jeffrey Haggray. https://abhms.org/about-us/news/hurricane-ida-leaves-great-need-in-its-wake-give-now-to-one-great-hour-of-sharing-to-help/

We heard from some of our ABCNJ churches throughout the week who want to contribute to congregations that received damage. Thank you!

There are several ways you can partner with ABCNJ to assist the churches that suffered damages. One of the best ways is to contribute to One Great Hour of Sharing. Another way is to contribute to the ABCNJ Disaster Relief Fund. Individuals may also use ABCNJ’s online donation option to make an immediate donation. You can donate here.
