ALPHARETTA, Ga. (BP)–More than 1,200 Southern Baptist churches have committed to help SBC churches in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The Adopt A Church partnership was initiated by the North American Mission Board the week after the hurricane destroyed thousands of homes and business along the Gulf Coast including hundreds of SBC churches.

Adopting churches from across the United States and Canada are being assigned to affected state Baptist conventions which will then match them with damaged and destroyed churches in their respective states.
Adopting churches are asked to make a commitment of 12 to 24 months or however long it takes for the affected church to get back on its feet.
Churches desiring to offer assistance through Adopt a Church may register online at www.NAMB.net or call 800-462-8657. More information is available by e-mailing adoptachurch@namb.net.
