<h2 class="article-summary">GRAHAM, PENCE, AND TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT WENT TO OUR WORK SITE IN ROCKPORT. A DAY OF PRAYER FOR TEXAS HAS BEEN DECLARED FOR SUNDAY, SEPT. 3.</h2>
<div class="donationItem donationitem-group "></div>
<p>Franklin Graham traveled to Rockport, Texas, today to view firsthand the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey. Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen, and Governor Greg Abbott accompanied Graham to one of our work sites to help Samaritan’s Purse staff and volunteers as they assist homeowners in need.</p>

<p class="wp-caption-text">VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE GREETS SAMARITAN’S PURSE VOLUNTEERS IN TEXAS.</p>
</div>
<p>The Vice President, his wife, Governor Abbott, and Graham prayed at First Baptist in Rockport earlier in the day. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry—a former Texas governor—and Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao were also present.</p>
<p>“After difficult days, the President sent us here,” Pence said, “to say the American people are with you. We will be here every day until this region rebuilds bigger and better than ever before.”</p>
<p>Governor Abbott declared Sunday, September 3, to be a day of prayer for Texas.</p>
<p><a class="sc-button green-button right-button" href="https://spvolunteernetwork.samaritanspurse.org/hurricane-harvey-reponse/" target="">SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER</a></p>
<p>The need for volunteers to help Texas recover is great. “We need Christian men and women willing to come to south Texas to help us,” Graham said. “There’s so much need down here. We’ve got two locations up and we’ll have three more by the end of next week. We’ll be able to receive 1,000 volunteers a day.”</p>
<h2>Such an Encouragement</h2>
<p>Governor Abbott and Vice President Pence rolled up their sleeves and joined our volunteers working at Joanna’s home. Joanna is the mother of Toni Naro, who has been volunteering with our U.S. Disaster Relief project for three years. Naro, a resident of Hickory, North Carolina, was very surprised and encouraged by the visit.</p>

<p class="wp-caption-text">TONI NARO IS HARD AT WORK WITH SAMARITAN’S PURSE IN TEXAS. WE’RE HELPING HER MOM RECOVER AFTER HER HOME WAS DAMAGED IN THE STORM.</p>
</div>
<p>Naro has deployed with us on about a dozen responses and was eager to help in Texas. “When I’ve gone out to help other people I could always see the Holy Spirit at work,” she said. “Their faith has been changed forever. They see us and they know Jesus is with them. It means everything in those desperate moments.</p>
<p>“Today, the volunteers did that for my mom. She’s a Christian woman but this took the wind out of her. This was such an encouragement to her faith. I believe she’ll be closer to the Lord than ever before.”</p>
<p>Naro’s mom’s home had major damage to the roof, downed trees in her yard, and a flooded out interior.</p>
<p>Graham told Naro that he was thankful for her volunteer service and that we need more like her. “Tell your friends,” he told her. He also said that we’re standing with her mom and her neighbors “for the long haul.”</p>
<h2>Multiple Relief Locations in Texas</h2>
<p>Rockport took the initial blow when Hurricane Harvey roared ashore August 25 as a Category 4 storm with 130-mph winds. One of our disaster relief units—a tractor trailer stocked with equipment and supplies—arrived on Monday. Our volunteer teams started work on Wednesday, fanning out from our host church, First Baptist in Portland.</p>

<p class="wp-caption-text">TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT ASSISTS IN CLEANUP AT ONE OF OUR SAMARITAN’S PURSE WORK SITES NEAR ROCKPORT TODAY.</p>
</div>
<p>Samaritan’s Purse has another site operating in Victoria, Texas, as well. Volunteers there have been hard at work in Jesus’ Name since Tuesday. More than 250 families have contacted us for assistance. We praise God that 18 individuals have made decisions for Christ.</p>
<p>In total, five disaster relief units will be deployed to Texas. Two are en route, with another to follow soon. A third base of operations will be opened in Santa Fe/Galveston and two more in Houston. We plan to enter the hardest hit areas just as soon as the proper authorities have given permission to do so.</p>
<p>As with every Samaritan’s Purse deployment, crisis-trained Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains will be coming alongside our teams to provide spiritual and emotional care to distressed homeowners and others throughout each respective community.</p>
