Stir Up One Another to Good Works

The OPC was directly impacted by six different hurricanes in 2017-2018. The magnitude of Hurricane Harvey, in particular, forced OPC Disaster Response to a new level of both opportunity and ministry. The long-term work in Houston has brought moving stories of how volunteers from the OPC and beyond have changed peoples’ lives -- both physically and spiritually. This has provided a template for future ministry that we want to share with the church.
