Disaster Relief

help, healing, & hope

Arkansas Baptist State Convention Disaster Relief extends the love of Christ to disaster survivors by preparing hot meals, removing damaging trees and debris, tarping roofs, shoveling mud, providing emergency communications, and coordinating the response through Incident Command leadership.  Following a common ministry pattern of Jesus Christ, volunteers seek to share God’s grace, hope, and Truth while meeting physical needs.  The volunteers also offer hot showers and clean laundry to hard working Disaster Relief volunteers.  Disaster Relief is a ministry of the heart – caring people rushing to people in crisis to offer the help, healing, and hope of Jesus Christ.

The Current-Gaines Baptist Association has a feeding unit and has been deployed to numerous disasters. They provide hot meals to both disaster survivors and Disaster Relief volunteers. In addition to providing hot meals, they also provide a kind word and a listening ear; as well as many prayers to survivors. Click on the pictures below to see some of our team in action.
