Texas Flooding: Help in the midst of heartbreak

July 17, 2025

The recent floods have now impacted many communities – Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt, Menard and San Angelo, just to name a few. The physical impact is significant, and the challenges are many.

Yesterday, I was in Kerrville. The air in the Hill Country remains particularly heavy, the memories of those lives lost or missing weighing on the hearts and minds of the community. Reminders are commonplace here. Green ribbons are on nearly every tree. Piles of brush lie here and there. First responders are scattered across the region.

This is where your Texans on Mission teams are working. More importantly, this is where they're ministering.

John Vlasek stands in the middle of his home, stripped bare of furnishings, walls, ceilings and flooring. Even his rock fireplace is gone. It’s testimony to the height and depth of the floodwaters that destroyed the house July 4. The waterline of debris can still be seen just below the ceiling. Surrounding him, Texans on Mission volunteers continue to scrape floors and remove nails from studs.

When volunteer Matt Enriquez called his 89-year old grandfather, Dr. Ramiro Peña, to tell him he was deploying to Kerrville with the Texans on Mission flood response there, he ended the call with a surprise proposition: “Why don’t you deploy with me?” Even more surprising? Peña, a retired Temple surgeon, said yes.
