Upper Peninsula flood relief ministry continues

MARBC churches continue to lead the flood relief assistance in the Houghton-Hancock area.
You have no doubt seen the incredible images of the June flood that did widespread damage in the Houghton-Hancock area in the western Upper Peninsula. Two MARBC sister churches have families affected by the flooding: Evangel Baptist Church in Houghton and Bethany Baptist Church in Dollar Bay. The MARBC has been in contact with both churches to learn how support them in this time of need.

​MARBC sister church, Evangel Baptist Church in Houghton, is located just two blocks west of Michigan Technical University and is strategically situated near the flood region. Their facilities are currently being used as a staging area for flood assistance operations in the region.

Pastor Nate Marsh, associate pastor, shares that they are in need of individuals and groups who can come in the next few days to assist with the clean-up efforts. Those who are willing to help will be processed at the church for clearance to enter the flood zone, receive instruction to understand proper work procedures, and to receive proper identification and equipment for assistance. Please phone 906.233.6621 if you are planning to travel to the area and assist in the clean-up operations.

Those desiring to contribute financially to the regional assistance effort may contribute at the Portage Health Foundation (Hancock, MI) website. Donations to this website will go directly to the regional relief efforts.
