Houston, Texas - Hurricane Harvey
Last weekend Hurricane Harvey struck the Texas coast, creating possibly the largest natural disaster in U.S. history. Houston is America's fourth largest city, experiencing widespread flooding. Americans want to help, want to give, want to go.
It's important to understand the three "R's" of disaster response: Rescue, Relief and Recovery. Most Baptists are able to help in the relief and recovery phases. The recovery phase will last for a year or longer.
One of the best ways to give to Hurricane Harvey victims is through Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (SBDR). There are three ways to give to SBDR:
1). Through your Baptist state convention. The Kentucky Baptist Convention provides Disaster Relief training as well.
2). The North American Mission Board - you can give or go for a week in September.
3). Baptist Global Response - this is the Southern Baptist version of Samaritan's Purse.
Any of the these three Southern Baptist organizations provide relief and recovery during disasters.
