Need for Great Commission Collective Church in India

Last week a cyclone hit the community of Chennai, India. A church from our network there has been greatly affected with the severe flooding - up to 5-6 feet of water in the church and sewage mixed with the water.  The Pastor’s home is ok, but their car was crushed by a tree. The immediate financial need is for food, sanitizer, and mosquito repellant. There will eventually be longer-term needs as the church roof is giving way and many homes of members are uninhabitable as well.

If you are able to help in addition to your regular tithes and offerings, you can give to the "Church Relief Fund" for when these kinds of emergencies come up. People can give at gccollective.org/give and should choose the "International Fund," and then put "Relief" in the memo/notes section.
