Heart and Soul America's relief mission
How Florida's Baptist Relief provided support for local communities affected by Hurricane Ian. As Hurricane Ian prepared to hammer the Gulf coast of Florida in October 2022, Florida Baptist Disaster Relief was already mobilising nine pop-up kitchens in order to prepare meals in south-west Florida for its residents. After the hurricane hit, volunteers set about recovery work as a half million people had no electricity. Some volunteers returned to Florida from Kentucky's mountains, where they had been providing disaster relief to home-owners flooded out by catastrophic storms in late July. The presence of Baptist relief organisations at US climate-related disasters is striking - they can seem as visible on the ground as federal government organisations. Their relief work is inspired by their mission - this is God's love in action. Presenter: Olivia Reevell Producer: Philip Reevell
