Responding to the Oklahoma Tornado
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) will be responding with One Great Hour of Sharing funds and members of the National Response Team to the devastating tornado that struck Moore, a populous suburb of Oklahoma City, Okla.
The 200 mph, F-5 tornado struck Monday evening and destroyed whole neighborhoods. Two elementary schools were in the tornado's path, and one school sustained a direct hit.
Church leaders have issued a call to prayer.
