COGIC Charities Gives $50,000 to Louisiana Flood Victims
Church of God in Christ (COGIC) churches devastated by the recent flooding in Louisiana will receive assistance from COGIC Charities.
COGIC Charities has committed $50,000 to help COGIC churches in the Southern Louisiana area hit by the recent flooding. The funds will be distributed through local jurisdictions to assist churches with their immediate needs.
Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. says, “The Church of God in Christ is committed to assisting our churches in the Southern Louisiana area that have been affected by the recent flooding. Our goal is to help as many of our churches with whatever they may need to help get their congregations back on their feet.”
Currently, the Church of God in Christ has over 200 churches in the state of Louisiana and approximately five of them were damaged by or completely destroyed by floodwaters. These COGIC Charities funds will help local churches remove water, repair structures, provide food, water, clothing and any other assistance that may be needed.
Working in conjunction with COGIC Charities, the International Missions Department has dispatched a team of workers to the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area to assist churches there with cleanup, water removal and any additional needs affected congregations may require.
