UPDATE: JULY 17, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our hearts are with the people of the Texas Hill Country as devastating flooding has once again impacted Kerr County and surrounding communities.\u00a0For many, this latest disaster has damaged or destroyed property that had only recently been rebuilt following last year’s historic floods. Communities that were making steady progress toward recovery are once again facing loss and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to last year\u2019s catastrophic flooding,\u00a0NCF\u2019s Texas teams worked together to establish the\u00a0Texas Hill Country Flood Relief Fund<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to help provide disaster relief for victims\u2019 families and support local churches engaged in outreach.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel led to support the ongoing recovery efforts, the Texas Hill Country Flood Relief Fund remains open. Your generosity will continue to equip trusted local churches and ministries as they provide both immediate assistance and long-term support. Thank you for partnering with us in bringing hope to those who need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE: DECEMBER 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NCF Austin President, Ryan Assunto, shares an update<\/a> on the Texas Hill Country Flood Relief Fund and how resources are being deployed to meet needs on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As additional resources are received, funds will continue to be deployed thoughtfully and strategically. NCF Austin is working closely with local leaders and community partners who know the needs on the ground best, prayerfully discerning where support will bring the greatest help and hope. Funds have also helped hire an additional Young Life staff member in the area to ensure consistent, long-term relational ministry to high school kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebuilding efforts are expected to span the next three to five years, and the needs remain ongoing. If you would like to support this work, you can continue to donate<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE: JULY 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, July 4, 2025, the Guadalupe River surged nearly 29 feet in just 45 minutes, unleashing catastrophic flash flooding across the Texas Hill Country. Residents of Comfort, Kerrville, and surrounding communities were swept into fast-moving waters. More than 130 lives have been lost, including the director, counselors, and campers from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp for girls. In response, the State of Texas declared a state of emergency, with both the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Guard deployed to support ongoing rescue and recovery efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NCF\u2019s Texas teams, who all have a personal connection to someone impacted by the floods, have worked together to establish the Texas Hill Country Flood Relief Fund<\/strong> to help provide disaster relief for victims\u2019 families and support local churches engaged in outreach.
