Billy Graham Rapid Response Team (RRT) chaplains have been ministering to homeowners struck by disastrous flooding in Wayne County, Michigan. Heavy rainfall flooded about 3,000 homes in the Detroit area. Here, a homeowner gives a chaplain a hug after receiving a Bible and having her basement cleaned by volunteers.
Soggy furniture, toys and other belongings are stacked on the curb awaiting removal. Chaplains Rand Bowman and Paul Behrens talked with one Allen Park homeowner whose basement was severely damaged.
RRT chaplains are trained in crisis response and are there to offer emotional and spiritual care. Chaplain Donna Lamb talked with a homeowner in Ecorse, Michigan, who accepted Jesus as her Savior during their visit.
