Convoy of Hope is en route to help those affected by the flooding in Houston, Texas. 

Days of heavy rain pummeled the Houston area, swelling rivers and causing flash flooding. Crews have rescued hundreds of people stranded on rooftops, in their cars, or on murky roads. As of this morning, Houston is still under a river flood warning.
