TAMPA, Fla. (BP) – Hurricane Milton may have blown half the shingles off the roof causing leaks, cut off electricity to the building, and pushed standing water inside the main foyer and other rooms at COMOR Baptist Church in Tampa last week, but that did not keep the Haitian congregation from gathering for worship Sunday morning (Oct. 13).

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (BP) -- Diane Traynor is not really a fan of hurricanes, but after their arrival she springs into action­–ready to offer soothing words, a listening ear and the hope of Christ.

KEATON BEACH, Fla.

MADISON, Fla.

INDIANTOWN, Fla. (BP) – Windows were broken. The organ and piano were overturned. Resources were ripped up. Vandalism that occurred March 4 at The Village Church of Indiantown seemed like one of the worst things that could happen to a church. Instead, it has become a blessing.
