MOUNT JULIET — Tennessee Baptist Disaster Relief flood recovery teams are still serving at First Baptist Church, Huffman, Texas, in the aftermath of tropical storm Imelda. Volunteers have seen six professions of faith since their work began.

Imelda dumped about 40 inches of rain on southeast Texas (from Beaumont to Houston) last month. An estimated 4,000 homes were flooded, said Wes Jones, disaster relief specialist for the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board.

Jones said volunteers will be needed at least through the end of October. Volunteers interested in serving can contact him at [email protected].
