## Resource

Lesterville, Missouri, faced unprecedented flooding that tore through the town, uprooting trees and leaving debris in its wake—but instead of despair, neighbors rallied like never before. A truckload of essentials arrived at the fire station, which became a hub for relief, while Missouri Baptist Disaster Relief served meals and set up showers. When new storms cut off roads, the community leaned on itself, with local businesses stepping up—like the Log Cabin Inn, which offered canceled guest stays to flood victims. Amid the chaos, it’s the human spirit that’s rising, proving that even when everything else is lost, people come together to care for one another.
