Title: Texas Baptist Men: Helping Those in Need
Topic: Disaster Relief
Discussed by John Hall
with Texas Baptist Men (www.TBMTX.org)


Part 1 of 2

Matthew 10:42 “And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

After storms, high winds, and tornadoes, teams of Texas Baptist Men have spread across Texas meeting immediate needs of those suffering.

John Hall, the Director of Communications with the TBM, discusses some of those needs and how you can help. Click here for more information on some of their ministries.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Who are the TBM? Are women members of the TBM? Are the TBM just “Baptists”? John Hall discusses what they do and who they are, saying: “It takes everybody following God’s call… They come from all walks of life.

What steps are taken after a disaster? How many meals per day can the TBM provide? Can they provide people with a place to shower and charge their phone?

After a flood, does the TBM provide assistance with “mud-outs”?

Why does the TBM offer prayer and spiritual guidance after a disaster? John Hall says: “Practical help is needed in these situations. But… folks need to express their trauma… they need to unpack it.”

Discussed by Fritz Wilson
with North American Mission Board (www.namb.net)

When you send in a mud-out crew to go and help that homeowner pull out all their damaged furniture, to pull up all their carpet and padding, to pull down sheetrock, insulation etc - Are there workers who go that are trained to help victims emotionally?

Since you all provide your meals free, how many semi-trucks full of food does it take to take care of victims for a single day? Also very important, what do you do with all of the trash that you generate?

Fritz Wilson with the North American Mission Board, discusses how Baptist Men and Women from all across America respond when disasters strike. We have a link above in our scrolling banner on ways to help and to donate.

Title: What Are The Southern Baptist Men Doing To Prepare For Hurricane Sandy?
Topic: Disaster Relief
Discussed by Mike Ebert
with North American Mission Board (www.namb.net)

What are the southern Baptist men doing to prepare for hurricane Sandy? Will there be a need for volunteers? Will there be a need for meals? For command centers? What is the "clam shell"? What kind of food do you all prepare?

Back to hurricane Ike - 1.5 million hot meals were prepared by you all, southern Baptist men and women. How in the world did y'all, from across the country, prepare so many meals? Is it still true that the Red Cross does not have a mobile kitchen?

If there are widespread outages and restaurants don't have portable generators - are you all prepared as needed to send some of your 1,500 disaster relief units throughout the northeast to cook hot meals? The North American Mission Board exists to work with churches, associations and state conventions in mobilizing Southern Baptists as a missioned force to impact North America with the gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism and church planting. They accomplish that through Send North America, their national strategy for mobilizing churches to plant churches and mobilizing church planters and other missionaries to assist with those efforts.

Title: Extreme Blessing – From The Foundation UP!
Topic: Disaster Relief
Discussed by Jody Herrington-Gettys
with Operation Blessing International (www.OB.org)

The forecaster was right: the tornado came. It rained buckets, some say, “Cats and Dogs”! When it was all over, their home was nearly destroyed, standing but unlivable. One day a car drove up and a young lady approached John and Debbie, both in their mid-sixties. They were living in a tent behind what once was their home. She asked, “Can we help?” When all was said and done, John and Debbie had a new home built by 400 volunteers with Operation Blessing and Home Depot, including a tree house out back, built by the Joe Gibbs Racing Team’s Joey Logano, driver of the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Thirty-Five thousand plus families were assisted with housing and other needs immediately after Katrina and Rita. Thousands are still being assisted with housing but some could lose this help at the end of August or September. They should call FEMA at 800-621-3362 to find out more.
