"I've always been able to make the tough decisions in the heat of battle", says Roy Weeden, Director of Disaster Response for Adventist Community Services (ACS) in Missouri. Weeden has made plenty of tough decisions this spring as ACS and Missouri Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOADs) have responded to flooding and tornado events across the state.
