Hundreds killed.

Hundreds still missing.

Millions without power and other utilities.

The devastation of Hurricane Helene in the U.S. stretches from Florida to Tennessee.

Into that crisis, Christian broadcaster John Owens and his on-air team brought vital and accurate information to people stranded without electricity and safe roads. His radio ministry also continues to bring Gospel hope to a wide swath of the hurricane zone.

Family Life’s Greg Gillispie asked Owens for his first-person on-the-scene stories of what people in that region saw — and what they need next. This is an extended interview with the Family Life Radio Network alum to now manages Blue Ridge Broadcasting in Asheville, North Carolina. (The information shared was up to date as of 9/30/2024.)
