The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas has been catastrophic. Foursquare Disaster Relief has initiated a large-scale response across several states in coordination with the Atlantic District. Many of our churches, along with their congregants and communities, have been severely impacted.
Hurricane Milton is rapidly approaching Florida and is expected to make landfall on Wednesday. Please join us in fervent prayer for the Tampa Bay region as they prepare to face another powerful storm. We need a miracle. Please pray for God’s protection over Florida and for His hand to cover those still recovering from Hurricane Helene. We are preparing for a second FDR response team to travel into Florida to continue the response once Hurricane Milton has passed.
Foursquare has already started relief efforts in Florida, the Carolina’s, Virginia, Kentucky and Georgia. In Florida, the FDR Truck and Trailer have been deployed to Tampa with two team members taking charge of logistics and serving as the main point of contact. Three local churches are actively involved in the response, focusing on debris removal, cleanup efforts and supply runs in Crystal River, St. Petersburg and Tallahassee. The FDR team is also deployed in North Carolina to address the severe flooding caused by the hurricane. The response is being coordinated across multiple states, with local churches providing hot meals and supplies for affected families.

Ways to Pray
Intercede with us for those who have been severely impacted. Your spiritual support will make a significant difference.
1. Affected regions
Pray for comfort, strength, and provision for the hundreds of thousands of people impacted by Hurricane Helene, particularly those in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia.
2. Relief Efforts
Ask for God’s guidance and blessing on the relief efforts, including the distribution of food and supplies facilitated by Foursquare Disaster Relief and other organizations.
3. Safety + Protection
Pray for the safety and protection of the relief workers and volunteers, Foursquare church members and pastors, as well as the FDR Teams who are deployed in Florida and North Carolina.
4. Healing, Restoration + Revival
Seek God’s healing for the injured and sick, and for the restoration of homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods in the devastated regions. Pray that many would come to Christ and be spiritually transformed through the outreaches done by Foursquare Disaster Relief and the many Foursquare churches who are caring for their communities in the Atlantic District.
Pray that out of this moment of brokenness, a revival would refresh the region and the Holy Spirit would provide supernatural breakthroughs in the Atlantic District.
