Missouri couple shares experience of surviving tornado
Joplin, Missouri
(June 3) An EF-5 tornado swept through Joplin, Missouri, May 22, hammering a hospital, destroying thousands of homes and buildings, killing at least 134 people, and injuring 750 more.
Nazarene Compassionate Ministries is part of the relief effort in southwest Missouri. More than 1,000 Nazarenes have volunteered their time and energy through NCM in this city left in ruins by the tornado.
NCM and Global Communications had the opportunity to speak with many of the survivors, including Julie and Josh Cook.
Julie Cook survived the storm in the electronics section of a Walmart.
The Cooks, members of Joplin Calvary Church of the Nazarene, shared their experience with NCM. They express their gratitude to the Church of the Nazarene for the outpouring of love for Joplin, and also express their desire to help their neighbors and friends who suffered far worse tragedies.
Join NCM in continued prayer for the healing of the community, and continue to join us in supporting the relief efforts at www.ncm.org/usatornadoes.
