About this listen

 This week, we reflect on where our intentions and prayers are needed sometime after a major disaster, and especially when it begins to fade from the news headlines. We explore the continuing tragedy that is unfolding in Kerr County, Texas, and its surrounds, as search and rescue efforts continue, and the profound nature and scale of impacts on many hundreds of people and communities become clear, following the flooding of the Guadalupe River. We hone in on both the immediate and longer-term support required for the grieving families, displaced individuals, and impacted businesses, and turn attention to the sustained support and action that will continue to be needed long after the headlines fade. As always, please join us in a shared time of intention holding and prayer. Intentions and prayers start at 17 minutes 44 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as communities and many thousands of people face the long-term consequences of the Kerr County flood, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all authorities that have influence will continue to be mindful in the months and years ahead that ongoing support is needed for those who have been displaced and traumatized by the Kerr County flooding, including access to shelter, medical support, employer compassion, schooling for children, food and water, and trauma counselling. Please join us in holding this. Mentioned in this episode and useful resources: Kerr County Flood Relief Fund. Supporting urgent relief and long-term rebuilding following July 4 floods.
