LCC Disaster Response L.E.R.T. Volunteers Complete Deployment in Tennessee Serving 25 Families Affected by Tornadoes

3/17/2020

 
Picture
Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) Disaster Response L.E.R.T. (Lutheran Early Response Team) chainsaw teams were invited by Rev. Ross Johnson, Director of LCMS Disaster Response and Rev. Dr. Roger Paavola, LCMS Mid-South District President to assist Pastor Keith Enko at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Hermitage, Tennessee with tornado recovery in their community. On March 3, Nashville and surrounding towns experienced seven tornadoes that were on and off the ground for 150 miles, leaving a trail of destruction and sadly taking the lives of 24 people and injuring countless others.

Kathy O'Day, LCC Director of Disaster Response, LCC Staff and forty-eight L.E.R.T. chainsaw certified team members completed their deployment this past week, serving 25 families affected by tornadoes in Hermitage, Mt. Juliet, Lebanon and Donelson. They worked with Pastor Keith Enko at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Hermitage. The church intends to continue to assist the two families that have lost everything attending their Early Childhood Center, and to provide spiritual and emotional support to their community as they prepare for a long-term recovery.

These L.E.R.T. volunteers spent eight days cutting and removing many fallen, leaning and damaged trees that completely covered the yards of many homeowners, as well as removing debris from properties for pickup.
 
Our team also spent several days helping to clear trees and debris from the Donelson Christian Academy to make it safe for students in the future. Kathy O’Day received the following thank you note from Dr. Danny Kellum, Headmaster Emeritus to share with the L.E.R.T. volunteers:

Picture
Just wanted to take a moment and thank y’all for your great assistance during the tornado cleanup at our school. The love of the Lord was very evident in the lives of all your folks. Thank you again, and may God continue His blessings on you all, and continue His safety and protection to your group.
 
Blessings, Danny

The team also worked on an elderly couples’ property for several days. The couple was given a slice from a tree with a cross and the team's signatures on it. After expressing their thanks, the man said that, when they rebuild their home, he would make a table out of this slice to always remember what was done for them in the name of the Lord.

Dr. Roger Paavola, LCMS Mid-South District President to assist Pastor Keith Enko at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Hermitage, Tennessee with tornado recovery in their community. On March 3, Nashville and surrounding towns experienced seven tornadoes in the early morning hours. Two of the reported tornadoes were rated an EF-4 storm by the National Weather Service. The tornadoes were on and off the ground for 150 miles, leaving a trail of destruction and sadly taking the lives of 24 people and injuring countless others.

Dr. Rev. Roger Paavola, LCMS Mid-South District President toured the areas of Hermitage, Mt. Juliet, Donelson and Lebanon with Pastor Enko and Kathy O’Day. They also met with homeowners and LCC L.E.R.T. team members on site to offer prayers and to personally thank them for their willingness to serve those in need. It was very special that he took the time to come and express his support to the congregation and team.
 
Repeatedly we heard stories of survival that occurred as families heard the warnings to take shelter in the middle of the night. We have seen homes, schools and businesses destroyed, belongings lost, lives disrupted – but have also listened to thanks and praise to God for being with them in the midst of the storm and surrounding them with His protection.

“It’s an incredible mission and ministry that they have. LCC has changed so many lives. They made an impact on us as a congregation, an impact on me as a pastor, and an impact on this community as well – one that won’t be forgotten!” – Pastor Keith Enko, Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Hermitage, Tennessee

Urgent Donations Needed to Help Emmanuel Early Childhood Center Preschool Families

Pastor Enko informed us that two families who send their preschool children to Emmanuel’s Early Childhood Center have lost everything due to the tornado. A single family home and an apartment building have been completely destroyed. Please donate to the LCC Disaster Response Fund so that we can help Emmanuel support these two families with the overwhelming task of starting over.

Giving Hope and Safety to a Recent Widow

Suzanne, a recent widow, told us how all her doors were blown in and bent and, therefore, she had to jump out of a broken window to exit her house. She, then, saw her neighborhood badly damaged and the trees her husband had planted uprooted and destroyed. She said she felt like those trees, now feeling uprooted from the safety of her home and what she holds dear damaged and destroyed. She appreciated that the LCC L.E.R.T. team listened to her story and cleaned up her property, but more importantly offered her hope that, through Christ, all will be made safe again.

Helping Neighbors with Extensive Tree Damage

An elderly gentleman and his two neighbors lost about 60 trees on top of the hill behind their homes. When we offered assistance to clear the trees and brought heavy equipment that could tackle the hill, they were overwhelmed with gratitude, as they did not know how they could have ever done all this work or been able to afford someone to do it.

Providing Compassion and Property Assistance to Elderly Couple
An elderly couple, living in a two-story home on six acres of heavily wooded land, huddled together in a chair in the spare bedroom as the tornado took their second floor and toppled hundreds of trees. They told of how frightened they were as they could hear the destruction occurring, see their roof come off and hear hundreds of trees snapping and falling. They feel blessed they lived through it and know that they can replace possessions, but not lives.

LCC DISASTER RESPONSE L.E.R.T. TEAMS ARRIVE IN TENNESSEE IMMEDIATELY HELPING FAMILIES WITH TORNADO RECOVERY

3/6/2020

 

LCC LERT Teams Respond to Historic EF-3 Tornados in the Nashville Area. from Lutheran Church Charities on Vimeo.

60+ L.E.R.T. Volunteers with Heavy Equipment are Helping those Most Impacted

 “You, LORD, are my lamp; the LORD turns my darkness into light.”
 2 Samuel 22:29

Picture
On Tuesday, March 3, at 12:45 am, Tennessee residents had a 3 – 6 minute warning that a powerful storm tracking 150 miles and producing an EF-3 tornado was hitting their community. The devastation caused at least 25 deaths, numerous injuries, massive structural damages to residential and commercial areas, and widespread power outages. There are still communities that cannot be entered for recovery efforts
Picture

Tim Hetzner, LCC President/CEO,
and Kathy O’Day, LCC Director of Disaster Response, and LCC staff along with Pastor Keith Enko from Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Hermitage, Tennessee spent Thursday and Friday assessing the extensive damage and meeting with homeowners to determine needs, listen to their stories, and offer prayer and support.
Your Donations are Needed to Support 60+ L.E.R.T. Volunteers in Action!
LCC is sending a very large team of experienced L.E.R.T. volunteers for a week to make a big impact during this initial recovery effort. We need your financial assistance to help feed them for the week. All of the volunteers have driven many hours – many taking time off of work to volunteer – and are sleeping on the floors in a room at the church every night after a full day of physical work helping others. Your donations will help us take care of our volunteers!

DONATE - DR EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE & FUEL EXPENSE FUND
Sixty-plus Lutheran Early Response Team (L.E.R.T.) volunteers brought a Bobcat, mini Bobcat, Ditch Witch, three tractors with grapples, 24’ dump trailer, 50’ boom lift, and two vehicles with 50 steel cable winches to help in tornado recovery.
 
Neighborhoods throughout the community have been devastated, some literally flattened. Families are still shaken by the experience and overwhelmed with the task ahead of them. LCC L.E.R.T. volunteers will be present in the communities of Hermitage, Donelson and Mt. Juliet to show residents mercy and compassion while assisting in the physical recovery of their property.

24 Deaths, Multiple Missing, 30 Rescue Workers Injured, Hundreds Devastated

 “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
At 12:35 a.m., a tornado warning for Davidson County, Tennessee, which includes the Nashville area, was issued. The damage report in East Nashville came in at 12:41 a.m., indicating residents in East Nashville received around 6 minutes of lead time to take cover before it hit; other parts of Nashville had less than a 3-minute warning. A powerful storm tracked 150 miles producing 7 tornadoes near Nashville causing structural damages to residential and commercial areas, and power outages.
Picture
In less than 8 hours, LCC Disaster Response received an invite from Rev. Ross Johnson, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) Disaster Response Director and Mid-South District President Rev. Dr. Roger Paavola to go into Nashville, Tennessee.

Tim Hetzner, LCC President/CEO and Kathy O’Day, LCC Director of Disaster Response are deploying out this Thursday morning to meet with Mid-South District representatives and local pastors to do assessments to get things ready for L.E.R.T. Chainsaw teams to deploy.
 
Kathy O’Day is in close contact with Pastor Keith Enko from Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Hermitage, Tennessee and Pastor Andrew Smith from Heavenly Host Lutheran Church, School and Early Childhood Center in Cookeville, Tennessee.


The tornado that hit downtown Nashville reportedly stayed on the ground into Hermitage, a neighborhood about 10 miles east. The city's historic Germantown neighborhood suffered significant damage. LCC has been informed that Donelson Christian Academy on the east side of Nashville sustained major structural damage. This academy is located a couple of miles from Emmanuel Lutheran Church.
Pastor Enko has been in contact with the principal of Donelson Christian Academy to offer classroom space a couple of classes.

Pastor Enko told Kathy, “I’m outside of the church picking up debris from a house heavily damaged next to church. Roof debris is scattered all over our property.”
 
According to Pastor Enko, one member home is heavily damaged and he’s still trying to contact members. He cannot get around town due to damage; 7 deaths in his town; 30-40 missing, including an elderly couple from his church.

Pastor Smith reports that one member home has been destroyed and he still cannot make contact with 3-4 members. He cannot get through many areas of town; at least 40 homes in town totally destroyed; still trying to contact church and school families.
 
“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13

Please keep all the above people in your prayers, including all the LCC Disaster Response volunteers and staff as we deploy out in various locations.

LCC never goes where we are not invited. We NEVER charge those we serve. We pick up all of our travel, lodging, and meal costs. We put boots on the ground within 24 hours (often fewer) from the time we get the invite.
