Disaster Relief
Purpose of the Disaster Relief Ministry
The purpose of NC Baptist Men’s Disaster Relief Ministry is to relieve human suffering caused by disasters by providing among other things: hot meals, debris removal, child care and family assistance.
We work with various disaster organizations in order to achieve this goal: American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, NC Emergency Management, and a variety of groups.
Mission Statement
The commitment of NCBM Disaster Relief Ministry is to enable and ensure every NC Baptist who so desires to respond to lessen the needs of hurting people caused by disaster. NCBM Disaster Relief Ministry provides organization, equipment, and strategy for committed volunteers to help affected individuals/families rebuild their lives and homes.
Some of the ways we respond:
Motivation of NCBM Disaster Relief
The motivation behind NC Baptist Disaster Relief efforts can be summed up by looking at biblical accounts of Jesus teaching and healing, such as: His feeding the multitudes, the parable of the Good Samaritan, and urging us to serve others in a variety of ways. (Matthew 14:19-21, Luke 10, Matthew 25:32-46, [other texts], Matthew 5:14-16, Ephesians 2:10James 2:15-16).
Training
Preparation is the best form of disaster response. All members of the NCBM Disaster Relief Team have been through our training. You don't have to be trained to participate in some portions of our response, however, we highly recommend that you become a part of the team. Our preference, of course, is that everyone go through a training in order to understand the guidelines for response: policies, procedures, safety, etc. Click here for 2012 training information.
