This week, a multi-vehicle convoy of supplies left the Crossroads area—organized by members of Parkway Church (Victoria, Port Lavaca, and Cuero), Lifeway Church, and Cuero Community Hospital, along with local partners like Alamo Lumber. We were simply the stewards of this community’s overwhelming generosity.
With seven vehicles in our convoy—including a Cuero Hospital transport ambulance and a firefighter escort arranged by Cuero Fire Chief Billy Fowler—we departed to deliver urgently needed supplies to flood victims in Central Texas. It was a humbling and powerful moment to witness people waving and cheering in every small town from Cuero through Gonzales and beyond.
Our first stop was a warehouse in Marble Falls, where Cuero Hospital dropped supplies. As we continued toward Kerrville, we stopped to pray— asking God to direct us to the people who needed it most. At that exact moment, we met a woman from the Southern Baptist Convention Disaster Relief team who was alone and had no supplies but knew of families in desperate need in Leander. She prayed over us and gave us the address. Following her lead, we journeyed through narrow roads, rickety bridges, and steep hill country terrain—pulling donated trailers from Port Lavaca—and found ourselves on an 18-mile stretch of devastation. The first thing we saw was a lone cardboard sign that read, “We need supplies.” They were out of water. We spent the remainder of the day setting up relief stations along that stretch, even one in a horse trailer.
