It's a Disaster

 

In recent years, we’ve seen a more active season of natural disasters—hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, and earthquakes. When we don’t volunteer ourselves, we provide supplies to affected areas through donations by Free Will Baptist people and churches.

Recently, we learned it is getting harder for men and women to take time from work and family commitments to travel for a long period of time. However, we are also seeing more volunteers serve in their own neighborhoods. Many pastors have taken the lead in organizing their churches to reach their areas before and during disasters.

 


A couple years ago, we set up several regional directors to guide regional disaster relief efforts. Currently, Master’s Men has fully equipped trailers in Florida, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee. We also partner with leaders in Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Illinois, states that have their own trailers with equipment.

Master’s Men will continue to coordinate Disaster Response Teams to offer help. But we also will equip and assist local congregations to reach the communities around them.

In the book of Nehemiah, the Jews accomplished the task of building the wall around Jerusalem by working in their own areas. Nehemiah 4:6 tells “the rest of the story” when he said it was done because the people had a mind to work. If Master’s Men DRT can help you, always feel free to reach out to us. But if you want to help others, don’t wait on us!

Above all, serve the Master.
