Disaster Relief

One of the great things about being Southern Baptist is the disaster relief ministry. Forty-five thousand churches cooperate through CP giving to fund the ministry. Thousands of Southern Baptists are trained and ready for deployment.

Many were deployed yesterday from all over the country. They headed to Oklahoma to minister in the wake of the deadly storms.

Disaster Relief is a resource intensive ministry. We always need people to volunteer to serve. Check out the training opportunities for Arkansas Baptists here.

And it costs money to mobilize and serve. You can give directly to Southern Baptists' Disaster Relief here.

The greatest resource we have is prayer. Please pray for those directly impacted by the storms, for the local responders and officials, and for the disaster relief crews as they are the hands and feet of Jesus in this difficult situation.
