For the residents of Oklahoma City and outlying communities, the residue of fear lingers and memories of sudden destruction are a constant source of apprehension.  While the struggle is real and at times relentless, hope is also on the rise as willing HFI Reservists extend help.  Acts of practical kindness in times of need demonstrate and communicate the love of God with amazing clarity.

Most Americans are aware of the devastating F-5 tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma on May 20th with devastating consequences.  However, few have heard of the nearby rural communities of Little Axe and Newalla. The day before the tornado ravaged Moore, these two areas were left reeling after a tornado burst on the scene the evening of the 19th.  Read how Hope Force International responded to Moore, Oklahoma…and also to these outlying communities.
