Southern
Baptist Disaster Relief is Christian love in action, meeting
urgent needs of hurting humanity in crisis situations. God
calls Christians to demonstrate love in the relief of
victims of disasters through the efficient and immediate
use of the resources, time, and talents entrusted to us
by our Lord.
Disasters
affect many people. Christians naturally respond to the
hurts of those around them and feel an obligation to minister
in the name of Jesus Christ. Christians working together
can accomplish much for the glory of God.
The
disaster response team can provide direction for the potential
energy of individual Christians and churches desiring to
be of service in times of disaster. Through planning, training,
and practicing disaster response teams can provide leadership
and expertise required in times of disaster.
Calhoun
Baptist Association maintains a Chain Saw crew, Shower Trailer unit, and Feeding Unit. In recent years our Disaster Relief teams have been
very busy helping to rebuild areas from the Midwest down
to the Gulf Coast. Upcoming training and recertification will be held on March 18-20, 2010 at Hill Crest Baptist Church. For more information please call the Associational office or to register go to the Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief Web site.

you want to make a financial contribution to our
Disaster Relief Teams who are activated during
