U.S. Tornado Disaster Relief

A deadly string of tornadoes has raked across at least five U.S. states, with an estimated death toll of 100 or more in Kentucky alone. The governor of Kentucky called this “the most devastating tornado event in our state’s history.” Search-and-rescue efforts are underway in several states. To all our church partners in these impacted areas, we are especially praying for you and your communities as you seek ways to respond.

Thousands of families have been forced from their homes and communities during the busy Christmas season. World Vision is on the ground helping to assess the impact and shipping emergency supplies to provide relief to those affected. The local church is one of our best partners in responding to emergencies like these.

Please pray with us for:

• Safety for the many still missing.
• Comfort for the families who have lost loved ones.
• Strength for the committed rescuers who are working tirelessly to help others.
• Churches in the impacted areas

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.
—Psalm 46:1-2 (NIV)

Our Commitment Your gift is a sacred trust. We promise to honor your generosity and use your donation in the most effective way possible. The gift options shown reflect World Vision projects and the suggested donation amounts are based on periodic surveys of the countries we serve. Each item is representative of the gift category in which it appears, and donations will be used to provide assistance within that gift category where it is needed most. When you give any animal gift, a portion of the gift may also help provide watering sources, farming assistance, hunger relief, and other related essentials as needed.

The multiplying effect from grants and donated goods may change throughout the year on identical or similar offers due to variations in the start and end dates of donor grants and our programs.
