Answering the Call in Shore Acres: Faith in Action Amidst the Storm's Aftermath

Shore Acres, Florida.

Shore Acres, a picturesque community nestled where Tampa Bay meets Old Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg, Florida, is now a scene of devastation following the recent hurricane. Amidst the wreckage, Kevin Epps, founder of Men of God, demonstrates the power of faith in action, offering aid and comfort to those impacted by the storm.

A Community Devastated

The streets of Shore Acres are now lined with piles of debris – splintered tree limbs, chunks of drywall, overturned furniture, and personal belongings spilling from waterlogged homes. The once vibrant neighborhood bears the scars of the hurricane's fury. Kevin describes entering homes where mold is already taking hold, rendering them uninhabitable. Many residents, forced from their homes, are now living in RVs, clinging to a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos.

More Than Just Clean-Up

While the physical cleanup is crucial, Kevin recognizes the emotional and spiritual needs of the community. He offers encouragement, sharing the Gospel and reminding people that faith can provide strength and solace even in the darkest times.
