Cedar Rapids, Iowa, along with many other areas across the Midwest, experienced extreme weather on Monday night resulting in extensive damage to homes and properties. Hundreds of thousands are without power and many trees are down as a result of the storm. God has called us to love and serve, and that is exactly what we plan to do.  We will serve in Cedar Rapids from August 15th – September 5th.
