GIVING

There are several ways to give to Redemption City. Online, by mail, or in person at one of our Sunday services. Giving isn't a way to gain favor with God - Jesus has already secured that for us. Giving is a response to God's gifts and kindness to us. Money collected in offerings and online is used to further the mission of our church in Franklin and throughout the world.

"We're here for the long haul!"

This is not a short-term mission; this is an ongoing effort! The Well at Redemption City is a Christian outreach ministry located in and serving the people of Dawson Springs, Kentucky and the surrounding area. Like in many other areas, the recent tornado destroyed homes, businesses and lives, but it did not take the community's tenacity to endure and overcome. Clean-up continues with rebuilding the goal. There are many boots on the ground being the hands and feet of Jesus, but money is needed to equip those boots, a.k.a. purchase and distribute food, supplies, tools, and whatever else is needed as the community comes together to rebuild and thrive.

We need your help.....our goal is only a number.....every donation counts!

Please join us to continue the support for this community.

DAWSON SPRINGS, Ky. (WFIE) - After being hit hard by a deadly tornado, a church in Dawson Springs is determined to be a refuge for others.

One man in Dawson Springs says it’s hard to describe how it feels when you wake up and realize you’ve lost your home.

”I don’t know, I’m just kind of all blank right now,” said Hargis Dees, who lost his home in the tornado. “I mean, just, I don’t know.”

As the tornado ripped across the landscape, Dees found refuge in a friend’s basement. Before that, he was in the warming shelter at Redemption City Church, a building that took a beating in the storm. The church’s pastor says the area is in shock.

”It’s been devastating for our community,” said Pastor Brad Shuck. “It’s a small community, and as a small community, you know, we hurt together, and right now we’re hurting together.”

With the devastation barely behind them, church officials started planning to reopen at night to be a place of refuge for people in need. All of that is possible because of members of a different church in Providence, Kentucky, showing up early in the morning to help try and put the building back together.

With no electricity or gas in the area, they are hoping to provide more than a warm place to sleep and a hot meal to those in need.

”Maybe provide just a little sense of joy in the midst of great sorrow,” said Shuck.

The pastor says the community is starting to rally together. Even those who lost everything are thinking of others, as they try to articulate what they are thinking.

”A little bit of everything, I mean, I feel bad for everybody,” said Dees. “I mean, it’s total destruction, nobody has nothing.”

Church officials say they’re expecting to shelter at least ten people Saturday night, but they’re eager to help as many as they can.
