A Baptist ministry from South Carolina brought in portable hot showers and an abundance of supplies from tarps to diapers. While the church was without electricity, we were still able to continue our Hot Dog Ministry and meet the immediate needs of the homeless in our community. The American Red Cross set up food trucks, while other ministries brought water and food and clothing to help with the vast needs that surrounded us.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2022\/church-is-focal-point-for-relief-work\/\">Find out more about what has been happening at First Church of the Brethren North Fort Myers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;In the last few months there have been many showers of blessings raining down on us and times when the bleakness of the situation brought us to our knees.
