Volunteers are needed to respond to Hurricane Helene with NW Baptist Disaster Relief.
From the Northwest Baptist Disaster Relief website:
Hurricane Helene has only been eclipsed by Katrina in its path of destruction. The death count is above 230 and continues to grow. Cost estimates for damage are incalculable so far. Many thousands are without their homes at this time, or in damaged housing, evacuations are underway as Hurricane Milton heads towards Tampa, and all are in need of the hope that only Jesus can bring. Northwest Baptist began deploying Disaster Relief volunteers the last week of September. Deployments will continue for weeks and be for approximately 10 days each.
We only deploy volunteers who have been trained. Because we have already sent teams (and will be in need of future teams for some time) we are offering a Friday and Saturday training soon that allows people to be fully trained for the primary functions we are sending folks to do.
ISBDR (Introducing Southern Baptist to Disaster Relief) will be taught on Fri Oct 25 at 6:00 pm , followed by the Recovery course on Sat Oct 26 at 9:00 am. We will be holding this dual-certification opportunity at Solid Rock Baptist Church 8510 SE Battin Road Happy Valley Or 97086.
