Hope. Healing. Restoration.

Join us as we encourage one another and build one another up in Jesus. 

Our Dearest Community of Believers,

The last two weeks have changed the entire face of our community in ways we have never imagined. The needs are so great, but we have seen the grace and love of the Lord in incredible ways. The body of Christ is coming together and is moving as the hands and feet of Jesus to humbly serve the community.
 
How Rapha is Supporting the Local Community: Rapha House has been honored to be able to come alongside our neighbors to help meet physical needs and to offer prayer and hope. Because of the love and selflessness of the greater community of believers all over the US sending generous donations of supplies and funds we have had the honor of distributing supplies to the greater Asheville Region.

Rapha has been serving our local Mills River Community by distributing supplies daily at our church location Monday through Saturday and will now transition to distributing supplies on Saturdays. We have also been working to help families in the surrounding areas that have lost their homes or jobs and have been driving supplies to smaller communities and families who are either unable to get out or have huge needs. Rapha is networking with churches in the area to make sure supplies get to the people who need them most and deliver them personally when needed.
 
The needs of our community are ever changing because of the weather turning colder and different locations are lacking different basic resources (Many many people are still without electricity or water, limited or no cell service and/or internet. Some communities are still without a way to get out.) So how can the body of Christ continue to come together in this great time of need to shine a light in the Asheville Region and provide hope alongside practical needs?

You can volunteer! We need help distributing supplies at the church on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturdays and helping to drive supplies to people who are unable to make it to our church. We are also working to build teams to help with cleanup and restoration.
Email us at office@raphanc.us to get involved.

You can give! 100% of the funds donated to disaster relief at Rapha House will go to just that: disaster relief! Providing food, water, cleaning supplies, and basic needs to families all over the region, providing relief to families whose homes were damaged or destroyed and those who no longer have a place to work or will be without work for an extended period of time. Rapha House has set up a separate account for disaster relief which can be found on our website and app. Funds donated are tax deductible and will be used only for supporting people affected by disaster.

You can pray! Pray that the love of God will shine brighter than the darkness, pray for the trauma that all the people of the region have faced and still face daily, pray for peace, restoration of the region and people's lives, and that our hearts will stay focused on the one true living God.
