Nonprofit evangelical organizations are assisting tornado survivors in the wake of devastation, as faith endures in affected communities.

The tornado outbreak last weekend was the worst in a decade and has left Kentucky with a long road to recovery.  To make matters worse, more storms struck again over the last few days.  The deadly weather has brought dangerous tornadoes to the Midwest and plains states which experts say rare for December.  The latest storms killed five more people and left a path of destruction across the region and more than 400,000 power outages. 

It's been six days since the tornado outbreak and the focus is shifting from the damage left behind to the men and women stepping up to help from all over: cooking free meals, picking up debris, or helping search for the missing.

Tuesday marks day four of clean-up and recovery in the country's heartland after 44 killer tornadoes ripped through nine states over the weekend. Kentucky was the hardest hit with at least 74 people killed. Across five states, the death toll is nearing 90 with more than 100 people still unaccounted for.
