Christian Camp Director Hailed as Hero for 'Last Act of Kindness and Sacrifice' by Saving Girls

As the search continues for the dozens of people still missing in central Texas after devastating floods pounded the region, the director of Camp Mystic is being hailed as a hero for giving his life as he attempted to save others. 

As of Monday morning, 81 people are dead and 41 are still unaccounted for statewide after heavy rain lashed Texas, unleashing one of the deadliest floods in the United States in the past 100 years.

The greatest number of fatalities occurred in Kerr County, where 68 people are believed to have died, including 28 children, officials report. 

As CBN News reported, 10 girls and a counselor remained missing as of Sunday from Camp Mystic in Kerr County, a Christian summer camp for girls along the Guadalupe River.

Richard "Dick" Eastland, the camp director and co-owner, is being remembered as a hero after reportedly rushing to save as many campers as he could before his death. More
