Our Vision
The task before us is to bring the Good News of the Gospel to disaster survivors. Our commitment is to strengthen the local church. Many people and organizations will come and go during the course of a disaster, but it is the local church that can be the enduring reminder that love and support was found and help was given. Therefore, we commit ourselves to work with the local congregations to effectively and efficiently serve disaster survivors in Christ's name so they will find truth and hope.
Who We Are And What We Do
The Disaster Response Team is immediately available to the local congregation(s) in the disaster stricken area. The purpose of the Disaster Response Team is to aid the local congregation in recruiting and receiving volunteers to assist with the emotional and spiritual needs of the disaster victims and to assist them in the clean-up and rebuilding stage. The Disaster Response Team will bring the following to the disaster site to aid the local congregation in reaching out to their community:
- Mobile Kitchen
- Mobile Shower Trailer
- Trained Coordinators
- Completely stocked tool trailers
- Health kits
- Clean-Up kits
- Baby kits
- School kits
Types of Disasters
The Disaster Response Team may be called upon to respond to a wide variety of disasters. Some have natural causes. Others are related to human activity. Natural Disasters include floods, tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes. Human related disasters encompass such tragedies as fires, explosions and terrorist related activities.
