Hurricane Helene washes ashore; Good News for Today's last broadcast

Good News for Today

Residents of Florida, Georgia and Alabama need your prayers today as they deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The storm quickly intensified before coming ashore in the Florida panhandle on Thursday afternoon before zipping north into Georgia and Alabama overnight.

Disaster relief crews are on standby as first responders do their work and assessors move into the area.

Despite the tragedy, it’s a blessing to know that people who care are quick to rush to the help of others facing dark days.
