Hurricane relief
Mobilizing men and women to serve and engage by providing relief and restoration in disaster areas
Mission
We mobilize men and women that have the capacity to lead, are highly adaptable, resilient, and have the skills needed to thrive in backcountry environments. In the coming months we will be mobilizing small, specialized teams to serve those most impacted by hurricane Helene. Our ability to be self sufficient, reach cut off areas, and mobilize needed resources meets a critical need in these devastated areas Our mission is to partner with local churches and relief agencies serving in Western North Carolina to identify families devastated by the storm in hard to reach areas. Teams will will be uniquely trained and resourced to serve in a variety of capacities including…
– Supply distribution (food, diapers, blankets, etc.)
– Tarping/Repairing Roofs
– Clearing trees and debris
– Home Reconstruction
– General manual labor
– Prayer and encouragement
We have been serving families devastated by the storms through multiple trips, meeting both immediate needs and building relationships allowing us to walk alongside them as they move towards recovery. We are now in the ‘Rehabilitation Phase” of this response and will be helping families with longer term solutions allowing them to return to their homes or to get settled in temporary housing for the winter months.
All funding raised for this mission will be used to mobilize teams, purchase supplies/materials, and provide for the needs of the families we serve. As winter approaches we will be purchasing construction materials to repair homes, cold weather gear, heating solutions, and temporary shelter. Your support will help our teams meet these needs and others in real-time.
This mission will not only utilize young adults with unique abilities to serve in difficult environments, but also professional who put their skill to use while being an example to the next generation. These trips serve as the context for life changing growth and transformation as they experience Jesus at work in the midst of crisis and have the opportunity to practice leadership and ministry alongside their peers and mentors.
