Always Provide: Donating to Damascus, Va


October 2, 2024

Happy Hump Day! My last email update was about how excited I was to tackle a 100-mile race. The event was canceled due to storms from Helene. And today we have a more important update on our provider work. Today I'm excited to share how we are supporting Southwest Virginia's recovery efforts.

1 big thing: Providing for Damascus

Amy is on her way with supplies to support those in need. We were in Southwest Virginia for my race when the storms caused massive flooding. A national guard helicopter was able to get 130- 150 people recovered from either being in the water, on top of vehicles, or in kayaks.

  • Why it matters: Our non-profit The CL Thomas Fellowship exists to provide like Jesus. Beyond teaching, podcasting, and writing on the subject we also want to "doers of the Word."
  • Provider next step: If you want to help those in need, you can donate to our non-profit, and Amy will purchase items for families in Damascus, including batteries, trash bags, plates, food, water, and whatever essentials she discovers on the ground.

More to come, thank you for all the support!

Bless & Protect,

Justin Thomas

When I woke up for my last ultrarace, I looked at my alarm clock and immediately sensed the words "I am with you." What a gift. I meditated on these words all...
