Groups Put Aside Religious Differences To Help Oklahoma

“It has nothing to do race, where you’re from, the color of your skin, religion or anything like that,” Miller said. “We all bleed red and we need to know at the end of the day we’re not alone.”

The church has received an overwhelming amount of donations, items such as water, paper towels and diapers.

 “There is good that comes out of it,” Latimer said.

Steve Latimer a member of a Muslim relief group is embracing the fact that all faiths can work together.

“When they see another group come out to help, it exposes them to that other religion, they get to talk to the people and ask questions, it just goes miles and miles,” Latimer said.

A point, Dan Hoeft, operations manager of a Jewish disaster response team, said he agrees with.

“Even though we have some differences, we all have one goal and that’s to help people out and help get them through whatever disaster they’ve been in,” Hoeft said.

More hands, all religion aside, to help disaster areas heal.

“It just means we’re able to help more people and that’s really what we’re here to do and it’s a place for all people,” Miller said.

If you’re interested in helping, the International Harvest Church is in need of a 20×20 commercial tent to help protect donation items outside as well as cots to house volunteers.
