Disaster Relief & Recovery Volunteers

Disaster Relief is done immediately – removing trees and debris from dwellings, placing tarps on leaking roofs, tearing out wet carpet/flooring, cabinets, sheetrock, and removing ruined personal belongings and furniture. Other volunteers also provide childcare, cook meals, deliver water, wash and dry clothing, and provide medical assistance. During this phase, much is done to listen to the stories of victims, assure them of God’s presence with them “through the storms of life,” pray with them, and when open, sharing a witness to the good news of Jesus Christ.
