"We haven't even left Virginia Beach, yet we've already contacted local churches in Florida so we know where to go and what to do as soon as that hurricane hits, so we can be on the ground meeting certain needs of the community immediately," said Blake Mueller, who is on Operation Blessing's U.S. Disaster Relief Team.
