HURICANE IAN UPDATE - Tri-City Baptist Church

PASTOR JAY SHEPERD'S HOME

Kevin McCoy, ORH Disaster Field Representative, went to the Hurricane Ian impact area to obtain information about homes, churches and communities. Below are his reports to date.

The picture above is of Pastor Jay Shepherd's home. Pastpr Sheperd leads the congregation at Tri-City Baptist Church in Port Charlotte FL. Kevin wrote, "The house is standing but it had over 9 feet of water in it."

ROOF DESTRUCTION

Pastor Sheperd's church was damaged but they have opened the church to use for distribution of food and relief supplies.

"Tri City Baptist Church in Port Charlotte received substantial damage to their buildings. Both buildings lost a portion of their shingles and received water damage in the attic areas with wet insulation and multiple places of wet drywall. There are several areas where the soffit and facia is missing and there is a lot of cleanup on the grounds with trees down and debris all over Kevin Mccoy"

It is very possible the church will need new roofs for both buildings according to Kevin.  Pastor Sheperd does not know about the future of his home.

ORH will send him $1000.00 immediately through his church.  Please pray for God's wisdom and blessing.
