EDMOND, OK -- Residents near Northwest 164th and Western are picking up the pieces after flood waters raced through their neighborhood, but thanks to a metro church, residents in The Valley were not alone. Powered by the muscle of man and the spirit of God, volunteers from Life Church moved everything from couches and refrigerators so home owners could start the cleaning up process.
"We got here this morning and Life Church was here. They had 20 people in my house within 30 minutes and were pulling stuff out," said flood victim Maralee Hamm. "I love the people of Oklahoma."
And volunteers didn't just lift furniture, but also spirits by offering spiritual guidance and prayer.
"Being here and helping people in need is what the church is for, so that is what we are here to do," Brain Bruss with Life Church. " We are just trying to be the Body of Christ to people in need."
According to church officials, almost 100 volunteers pitched in to help.
