"It is going to take an army of volunteers and people to respond, and at Samaritan’s Purse we want to always respond in Jesus’ name. We want people to know that God loves them, that God cares for them."

Samaritan’s Purse disaster relief specialists arrived on Friday afternoon to begin assessments. 

He added, "Sometimes when a storm like this comes, people think, ‘Well, maybe God is mad at us, maybe this is His judgment?’ No. God loves us. How do I know that? Because the Bible tells us that God loves us and cares for us."

Graham also said, as shared with Fox News Digital, "Yes, there are storms in life, but God will take us through those storms if we put our faith and trust in His Son, Jesus Christ."
