Training
Disasters are prominent and ever-increasing. The world is becoming more and more like a global war. The church needs to be ready! The purpose of Disaster Immediate Response Training is to have responders be there when the need is the greatest. WHEN THE DISASTER HAPPENS! Our goal is to have immediate response teams throughout the United States. These teams would be ready at a moments notice to go into a disaster area and provide medical care, prepare hot meals, distribute dry goods and begin the clean-up, as well as, provide debriefing.
It’s time the church becomes GOD’S HAND EXTENDED
EVERYONE! This training will be beneficial to anyone who has an interest in ministry. The Bible speaks of great earthquakes, and pestilence as the end of time approaches, so therefore, we all need to be ready to minister.
Training will consist of setting-up and breaking down of a relief site. The site will function to accept and distribute dry goods. The site will provide hot meals while adhering to local sanitation code of cooking facilities. Site security will be discussed. The site will also be able to provide medical assistance and debriefing. Instruction will also be provided on the safety of debris removal after a disaster.
There will be lots of hands on experience. It will not be just a time of boring lecture. Our goal is to make this training as real as it could possibly be without there actually being a disaster.
So, are you one of those people who says after a disaster, “I would love to help, but I just don’t know what to do.”? Here is your answer. We will provide you with the training that you would need and then you will be able to help. Don’t let this opportunity of ministry training pass you by. Who knows when or where the next disaster may occur. BE PREPARED to help yourself or your neighbor.
