In the aftermath of a natural disaster, we partner with local churches to assess and provide
for community needs and demonstrate Christ's compassion in those communities through cleanup, restoration, and financial aid.
Western North Carolina
Volunteers in Bat Cave, North Carolina
A group of RMS volunteers recently served in Bat Cave, a small mountain town in Western North Carolina. This area was hit hard by the hurricanes of 2024, with heavy rainfall causing rivers to flood and roads to wash away. The damage left families displaced and homes severely impacted.
Our team spent a week assisting in various projects—repairing homes, clearing debris, building retaining walls, and restoring essential utilities. It was a blessing to come alongside those in need and show Christ’s love in tangible ways. Visit our Facebook page for more photos from the trip!

Rock Valley, Iowa
Flooding in Northwest Iowa
Thank you for your prayers, donations, and volunteer support following the severe flooding in Northwest Iowa. With your help, we raised over $250,000 and completed major recovery work at Rock Valley URC, including replacing electrical systems, drywall, flooring, trim, and HVAC units. Meals and grocery gift cards were distributed, and counseling resources were shared with the community.
We’re also thankful for the use of RMS trailers—our shower trailer served families in Spencer, and the tool trailer supported rebuilding efforts in Rock Valley.
As Rev. Castro shared:
“Our congregation has been so grateful... We praise God for you all and pray the Lord’s blessings be returned upon each mind, heart, and hand that served.”
