The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team (BG-RRT) deployed crisis-trained chaplains near Nashville, Tennessee, following a blast at an explosives manufacturing plant. Sixteen people lost their lives in the tragedy that occurred on Oct. 10.

“The images coming out of the explosion in Tennessee are devastating. Our hearts break for all the families of those who were working in the plant at the time of the tragedy,” said Josh Holland, international director of BG-RRT, shortly after the incident.

Chaplains came alongside first responders and the affected community, offering emotional and spiritual care following the disaster.

Please pray for the families who have lost loved ones.
