Renew ARP Church is a church plant in Fort Myers, Florida which was hit the hardest by Hurricane Ian. I was able to get in touch with Associate Pastor Rev. Donnie Bowker. Bowker evacuated Tuesday and is currently on his way back home. He is not sure of the extent of damage to his home. He knows they do not have water or power so he is loaded with a generator and a portable air conditioner in hopes to provide a community room in their house for neighbors to gather.
Cell phone service is spotty therefore I have not been able to reach Rev. Steve Reynolds, the pastor of Renew. His home had minimal damage and a large tree down. The church building they rent has flooding but they are not sure of the extent of that. They do know they cannot use it this Sunday. Bowker says they are thankful for the prayers and ask for prayers as they minister to neighbors and visitors to their church.
I will send more updates as I hear reports from Renew and other ARP churches.
Thank you for these updates!
