Indiana Church Feeds Tornado Victims

An F3 tornado struck the small town of Sullivan, Indiana, on March 31, 2023, in the dark of night. Over 200 homes were leveled or destroyed in a matter of minutes. Three people lost their lives, and families were devastated. The townsfolk responded with love and a desire to help.

Many agencies came to the town to assist in various ways. The Salvation Army was one of those agencies. They undertook the feeding of rescue workers and first responders. Families with no place to go were also fed.


The Lewis Seventh-day Adventist Church and other churches were asked to help the Salvation Army in feeding these people. The Lewis Church fed 300 people on Sabbath, April 8. It was a “fish and loaves” experience as only 125 people were expected. Praise God for helping us show His love by ministering to others in such trying times.
