Showing Original Post only (View all)Send prayers: Texas Republican turns down donated blankets, beds, manpower from Canada [View all]
Those who have been impacted by Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana are only beginning to see the way the flood waters have destroyed their homes. Many families tried to ride it out, only to be rescued when the rising waters forced them onto their roof. Thousands escaped with only their lives and the clothes on their backs, losing everything they own.
But according to Secretary of State Rolando Pablos (R-TX), they dont need any help. As Patheos captured, they just need a little more Jesus.
Quebecs Minister of International Relations Christine St-Pierre called Pablos to express his sorrow and condolences on behalf of the people of the Canadian province. He also offered equipment and manpower.
Pablos turned it down. Instead he asked for prayers from the people of Quebec, the minister relayed.
