Millions of Texans were caught off guard by severe winter weather earlier this month. Thousands remain without power or clean water.On Monday, Crossroads Church is sending skilled crews to the Houston area to help with recovery."As they started talking about rolling blackouts and power outages I was like, 'Oh, this is going to be horrible,'" said Darin Kroger. Kroger saw what was happening in Texas and put out the call to Crossroads' Natural Disaster Response Team. Within 24 hours, eight plumber and drywallers signed up for the trip."Until they can get those leaks repaired, they have no water, they can't wash their hands, take a shower. If they have little kids in the house, imagine trying to make baby formula with no water," Kroger said. "I walked through my house yesterday thinking about how many times I touch a faucet. And it was mind-blowing that they can't do that now."Once the team lands they will go straight to their designated neighborhood and get to work."We're going to help as many people as we possibly can," Kroger said. "God is going to put those people in our path and we are going to do as much as we can."
