Hurricane Irma and Maria
Rev. Cortroy Jarvis has sent the following update report on the damage he witnessed on a recent trip to evaluate the current state of the Moravian work in the Virgin Islands. Please review the report to get a better understanding of the extent of this damage. There will be much work to be done for a long time. The BWM will continue to be in communication with our partners in the EWI Province and will send out requests for teams should the need arise, and when the details can be worked out with leadership on the ground.
