"In times of tragedy like this, one of the amazing things that you see is just people coming together. The challenge is finding where are the people on the ground that can really help deploy this kind of money. We have those contacts, and we are excited to get behind this..." -Chris Kuehl, COO of Restore7

[Breaking Christian News] Thankfully, in the wake of the tremendous destruction of Hurricane Helene, there are many organizations that are helping the victims in the hardest-hit areas. (Screengrab image: via Restore7)

Among those is Restore7, which is working with local pastors in North Carolina.

Chris Kuehl, COO of Restore7, and son-in-law of prophetic speaker and author Johnny Enlow, spoke recently on video about the efforts they are making to bring aid to Helene victims, and specifically what that looks like:

"...One of the main churches I've talked to right now is feeding almost 2,000 people a day ... they're buying meals by the truckload, which is $60,000—I'm trying to buy them one truckload," explains Kuehl in the video message.

"And then we have about two other pastors that we're working with who are both responsible for about 45-60 families right now, they're not receiving anything from the government. We want to go in there and help them get set up for the next 6 to 12 weeks with this aid. We feel very confident that we can deploy this money in a way that is not going to be just taken by the government ... In times of tragedy like this, one of the amazing things that you see is just people coming together. The challenge is finding where are the people on the ground that can really help deploy this kind of money. We have those contacts, and we are excited to get behind this," he added.

Kuehl noted the disorganized situation among those who've lost everything and are looking for help: "It's chaotic and that's why we feel it's really good to work with pastors on the ground there ... we know we have an audience that really wants to be a part of this, and just help. So that's what we're doing. Like always, everything you give to Restore7 is tax deductible. And 100 percent of this is going to go into the communities, we're not taking anything for administration, we're not taking anything for our time in going down there. 100 percent of what you give will go into these communities..."
