DRUSA ANNOUNCES DISASTER DECLARATION: NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FIRES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presiding Bishop Doug Beacham has approved the recommendation of the\u00a0Disaster Relief USA (DRUSA) Committee to declare Northern California for IPHC Disaster Relief Response.<\/p>\n

Northern California has been battling a series of major fires.\u00a0 According to The Washington Post<\/em>, 21 different fires have burned over 191,000 acres, with many of them far from containment. \u00a0\u00a0DRUSA\u2019s initial response will be with financial assistance to the Pacific Western Conference relief effort, under the direction of Bishop Stan Reynolds.<\/p>\n

I cannot recall in the history of DRUSA where the ministry has responded to this many disasters in such a brief time frame.\u00a0 Your prayers and financial support are needed as DRUSA moves forward in the coming days to assist IPHC members and congregations in the Northern California area.<\/p>\n
