Matthew 25: Ministries, a top-ranked international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization headquartered in Cincinnati, OH is responding to massive flooding caused by heavy rains in Texas and Oklahoma that were responsible for at least 19 fatalities. People were trapped in their cars, while others were stranded in their homes as flood waters surged around them.
The Houston area received more than 10 inches of rain in just a few hours, resulting in thousands of damaged properties and 2,500 abandoned vehicles scattered along major highways.
