Urgent Appeal for California Wildfires donations

by Eron Henry | Jan 13, 2025 | News

Lott Carey is urgently appealing for donations and assistance in response to the devastating wildfires currently affecting communities in Southern California, including the Los Angeles area. The fires, including the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, and Hurst Fire, have caused the loss of at least 16 lives as well as widespread destruction, displacing thousands of residents and threatening countless homes and businesses.

The January 2025 Southern California wildfires have been fueled by strong Santa Ana winds, making containment efforts extremely challenging. The fires have already scorched thousands of acres, leading to significant loss of property and posing severe health risks due to the smoke and poor air quality.

Lott Carey is committed to providing immediate relief and long-term support to those affected by these fires. We are calling on our community, churches, and partners to join us in this critical effort. Your generous donations will help provide essential supplies such as:

• Emergency shelter and housing
• Food and water
• Medical supplies and healthcare services
• Clothing and personal hygiene items

Your contributions can make a significant difference in the lives of those impacted by these devastating fires. Please consider donating through our secure online donation page or by sending a check to:

Lott Carey

Landover, MD 20785

In addition to financial support, we ask for your prayers for the families who have lost loved ones, their homes, the brave firefighters battling the blazes, and the first responders providing aid. Your prayers are a source of strength and hope during this challenging time.

Together, we can help rebuild lives and restore hope in the aftermath of these wildfires. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

The Lott Carey Global missional community is organizing a Vacation Bible School (VBS) mission trip to Jamaica for young adults between the ages of 18 and 40.

This trip will span from July 26 to August 2, 2025, and will cost $2,250. The cost includes roundtrip airfare from the U.S. to Jamaica, hotel accommodations in double occupancy rooms, all meals including breakfast and dinner daily, ground transportation within Jamaica, and traveler’s insurance.

The itinerary begins with travel from the U.S. to Jamaica, followed by an afternoon of fellowship and mission orientation. The second day is dedicated to worship and mission preparation in Jamaica. From the third to the sixth day, participants will engage in VBS and recreational ministries in the mornings, with afternoons set aside for mission preparation, free time, and fellowship. The seventh day offers a cultural immersion experience along with tourism activities. Finally, on the eighth day, the team will return to the U.S. from Jamaica.

To join the mission trip, participants need to pay a non-refundable deposit of $350 by January 10, 2025. Following this, five monthly payments of $300 are due on the 15th of each month, starting February 15, 2025, with the final payment due by July 15, 2025. The application process requires submitting the Lott Carey application form, a copy of the first page of the applicant’s passport, and a pastor’s recommendation.
