Pastors Provide Hope And Relief Supplies Amid Devastation From Los Angeles Wildfires

According to Crosswalk, Pastor Chad Veach of the Zoe Church, close to the wildfires, shared that he is grieving with his community and supporting people with spiritual guidance and hope.

In Veach’s words:

“It’s knowing that God is still in control. I don’t want to just bypass that moment and throw a Scripture on it. We’re ambassadors of hope, navigating this as sensitively and appropriately as possible for those who are fearful and have lost their homes.”

Zoe Church is partnering with other organizations, including the Los Angeles Dream Center, headed by Pastor Matthew Barnett, to collect and distribute emergency supplies to affected people.

Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Church in Riverside, California, has also set up a donation fund through his church to support victims with relief supplies. He urged Christians to pray for rain and that the fires would be contained. 

In Laurie’s words:

“At this point, there’s zero containment. We need some divine intervention.” He prayed, “Lord, we need the winds to stop. It would even be a little better if the rain came, too.” 

In an interview with CBN News, Pastor Greg Laurie shared that Harvest Church has started a relief fund at harvest.org to provide needs and spiritual guidance for the affected people.

“It’s so devastating, and I know houses can be rebuilt, but when you’ve built your own home, or you’ve lived there for years or maybe generations, and to lose your home and your possessions,” Laurie said.  

He added, “This is traumatizing for people, so it’s an opportunity for us to step into a place of pain and suffering and difficulty and minister.”
