\u201cIn the days ahead there\u2019s still lots of work to do. We still have families who are dealing with the aftermath of Ian,\u201d said David Gold, lead pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church, in a social media video<\/a>. He added that many church families are among those who have been \u201cimpacted significantly\u201d by the hurricane.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Disaster relief volunteers in Fort Myers are primarily focused on removing debris, cleaning up homes, providing hot meals and free showers, and distributing nonperishable food items and water.<\/p>\n As volunteers meet the practical and tangible needs of those in the storm\u2019s destructive path, they also find opportunities to share the <\/span>gospel<\/a> message.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhat an incredible opportunity we have in these next few weeks to be a faithful gospel witness in the things that we do but also in the message we bring along with that hope and along with that help,\u201d said Pastor Gold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThere is a greater need in our community than being cleaned up from Ian. We have a deep spiritual need in our community, and people need to hear the gospel and the hope of the gospel, especially in these difficult seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Disaster](\"https:\/\/flbaptist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/310259679_5768032969925234_2276004389481027869_n-1024x768.jpg\")
