First Baptist Church of Gillette Missions

On July 12, 2017, the governor of Wisconsin declared a state of emergency in Racine County. The flooding closed highways and caused widespread and devastating flooding all across southeast Wisconsin, including the Shepherds Ministries campus.

Our parking lots resembled lakes and ponds. A volunteer lost his automobile in the flood. Water heaters and furnaces need to be replaced. Extensive work is required to repair floors and walls in the Wood Center. Nearly every building on campus has flood damage to some degree. We have estimated over $225,000 of damage to-date, over and above what we expect to be covered by insurance.

Please help us recover from this devastating event. Give any amount today by clicking Donate Now and putting Flood Relief in the notation area.

Thank you.

	Shepherds College Classroom


	Volunteers and staff worked tirelessly to dry out carpets in the classrooms. Many people loaned Shepherds dehumidifiers to help get rid of the moisture in the buildings. Your gift today can help us repair the damage to the carpeting and walls.

	Wood Center Basement


	Water to the Basement Ceiling Everything in this basement is lost due to a sump pump failure - water heaters, two furnaces, electrical equipment, and more. A gift from you today will help us replace these items immediately.

Bolthouse Center


	The Bolthouse Center is a disaster! This room is so important to the daily operations of our programs. We use this room for Special Olympics, Chapel, Residential Life activities, academic activities, exercise, meetings, and graduation and other special events. Flooring and walls need to be repaired as soon as possible. Please pray about how you can help us quickly recover and go back to our ministry as usual to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
