For many displaced Iowans, such as Oakville’s Kuntz family, who had to move to three houses in two weeks to escape the rising floodwaters, their Christian faith has helped them bear their trial with patience. But the ordeal did cause Natalie Kuntz to start praying a little differently: “I said, ‘God, I know You wouldn’t have let our house flood if You didn’t have a plan. But at this point I would really like to know where You want us to live.’”

WORLD’s Lynn Vincent reports, “Families throughout the Mississippi River Valley have asked themselves the same question since torrential rains triggered the worst flooding in history. Since May, storms across the Midwest have killed at least 24 people. Hardest hit was Iowa, where floods soaked all or part of 340 towns, and 83 of 99 counties have been declared disaster areas.”  Click here to read Lynn’s excellent account on how flooded-out Iowans have found hope through their faith, family, and friends.
