Hurricane Dorian | Bahamas Update & Disaster Prep

HOPE worldwide • September 18, 2020

On September 1, 2019, Hurricane Dorian made landfall in the Bahamas. Immediately, the HOPEww Global Disaster Response Team began to provide relief. For the past year, food and water were distributed, shelter was repaired and emotional support was provided by a team of mental health professionals. $200k was raised to aid this work, and it continues to fund their preparation efforts for future hurricanes and typhoons. Our brothers and sisters in Freeport send their love and thanks!

Check out the video to learn several ways you can be better prepared for natural disasters.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and brother, Dave Tomlinson. Dave was a beloved part of the HOPE worldwide family who served in many capacities throughout his time with us, most recently as Chief Operating Officer before his retirement. He also played an important role in our Global Disaster Response and Community Service Brigades teams, serving alongside his wife, Angela. More than the roles he held, Dave was a cherished friend whose warmth, kindness, and genuine spirit touched so many people. His care for others was evident in the way he served, led, and built relationships with people around the world. Dave had a remarkable ability to encourage, uplift, and connect with people, reflecting God's love in both his leadership and his friendships. We will miss Dave deeply and are grateful for the many ways he gave of himself to HOPE worldwide and to the amazing people we get to serve. We’re holding Angela and their family close in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dave’s presence will be deeply missed, but his faith, love, and example will remain in our hearts forever and his legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
