My brother and his wife are missionaries serving at a camp in Eastern Kentucky. The area was hit hard with floods and there is much destruction and loss. My brother's truck is a total loss, completely submerged and swept down by the water. Many buildings at the camp are damaged and destroyed. One of the families who lives at the camp lost everything and the wife broke her leg trying to get out. We still don't know if the horses survived or any of the animals at the camp's petting zoo.
I am so heartbroken. As you may remember, we experienced this 6 years ago when our whole town was under water. It is so traumatizing to go through and see your whole life turned to muddy rubble overnight. It takes years to rebuild. My heart really goes out to the people there. It is a very "poor" area and people don't have the money and resources to rebuild.
Please pray for all affected, that God will provide for them and sustain them through this.

Thanks for praying, Gina. The need is great. I got some updates today and want to pass them on. Some of the smaller animals did not survive, but they were able to get most of the horses to safety. Some neighbors are missing and/or recovered dead. Several children have lost their lives, four of which are from the same family. Search teams are still looking for the many still missing.
