Together we can bring hope to these dire circumstances. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hurricane Dorian is the most powerful Atlantic hurricane to make landfall on record. With sustained 185 mph winds, up to three feet of rain, and a devastating storm surge of over 20 feet of water, Grand Bahama and Abacos Islands suffered catastrophic damage. Though we are grateful no ICOC members lost their lives, the death toll from Dorian is climbing as rescue efforts are still underway in the Bahamas. Dorian is still threatening the US coastline. The news cycles will come and go, but the damage from Dorian is going to be felt for many years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Untitled-3f6e1d44.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> We are glad to report that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopeww.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>HOPE <i>worldwide<\/i><\/b><\/a><i> <\/i>is connecting with those on the ground and already responding.
