What if a single storm could redefine the strength and unity of a community? Join me, Zac Priest, as I recount the harrowing yet inspiring story of Sulphur, Oklahoma’s recent experience with a devastating tornado. Before a busy summer filled with enriching activities like camp Crossway and Super Summer Oklahoma, we were thrust into an unexpected and heart-wrenching ordeal. Listen as I share the emotional journey of witnessing the extensive damage to our town's cherished landmarks and the incredible outpouring of support from volunteers and organizations coming together to help us rebuild.

Our expanded church facilities have become a beacon of hope and a hub for disaster response, thanks to the generous contributions of groups like Mercy Chefs, Samaritan's Purse, and the Red Cross. Discover how these organizations have transformed our space into a lifeline for meal distribution, volunteer training, and emergency housing. From local artist TJ Todd’s musical contributions to the collective efforts of our resilient community, this episode shines a light on the power of faith, unity, and unwavering support. Your prayers and continued encouragement are vital as we navigate through this challenging time and work towards a stronger future for Sulfur. Thank you for standing by us.
