Tornados Hit Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma

April 28, 2014

I know that United Methodists all over Kentucky will join me and Jennifer in prayer for our sisters and brothers in the storm ravaged areas of Arkansas and adjoining states. Below is the latest news I have from my colleague Bishop Gary Mueller. - Bishop Davis

Sisters and Brothers,

Central Arkansas was hit with a series of massive tornados last night, as were Kansas and Oklahoma. At least 18 people have died in Arkansas. Our church and parsonage in Vilonia were destroyed. A number of church members’ homes were destroyed, just three years after rebuilding their homes destroyed by a tornado in 2011.Please join in prayers for the families who have lost loved ones, our churches and pastors that have been impacted, first responders and the United Methodists of our state who will be the hands, feet, hearts and mouth of Christ.

I am grateful for our Connection.
