In the heart of Kerrville, where floodwaters once tore through homes and hearts alike, something powerful is rising from the wreckage—community.
Families, neighbors, strangers—people from all walks of life—are standing shoulder to shoulder in the very streets that just days ago were swallowed by devastation. They’ve come together not for a celebration, but for a solemn and sacred purpose: to honor, to remember, and to say the names of the lives lost.
More than 130 souls have been confirmed dead in this unimaginable tragedy. Many of them were children, whose summers were supposed to be filled with laughter, not loss. Their names now echo through church halls, community centers, and open skies as candles are lit and hands are held tight. The grief is raw. The silence, often louder than any words. But in that silence, a deep, shared love endures.
This is not just a town in mourning. This is Texas Strong.
Because here, when the world feels like it’s falling apart, people don’t run away—they run toward each other.
Volunteers, many of whom lost everything themselves, are handing out water and warm meals. Local businesses have turned into shelters and donation hubs. Teenagers are wading through the mud to help elderly neighbors recover lost memories. Pastors are praying with firefighters. Teachers are comforting parents. And strangers are now friends, bonded by heartbreak and hope.
Kerrville is hurting—but it is not broken.
Now, the town needs something more. They need our prayers.
Not just once. Not just tonight. But every day as they rebuild what was lost—homes, schools, places of worship, and the lives they cherished.
🙏 Please, join them in prayer.
Pray for comfort for grieving families.
Pray for strength for first responders.
Pray for healing, for peace, for mercy.
And pray that we, as a nation, do not forget them once the cameras are gone.
Because in the face of overwhelming sorrow, they are still standing.
And they are standing together.
That’s what it means to be Texas Strong.
