CBN’s Operation Blessing is helping Americans who suffered catastrophic losses from tornado damage over the weekend. Volunteer teams are in Elkhorn, Nebraska, west of Omaha – a town nearly wiped out by a twister Friday.
Operation Blessing workers are coordinating with churches and civic leaders to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus as they come alongside to comfort and pray with victims and help them rebuild.
Joe Zelfel said he and his family huddled in their basement as the tornado passed over them. They are grateful to God to be alive. However, the family’s property was heavily damaged.

“It’s God’s will,” he said. “I don’t know why. There’s no explaining why. But it kind of gets me excited to see what He has planned for us next.”
Operation Blessing volunteers helped Joe clean up the debris on his property, bought building supplies, and helped him repair his home. They also made progress on the frame for a new shelter for his family’s animals.
“We’re very grateful,” Joe said. “All the people who’ve come to help, it’s just overwhelming.”
