To KS/NE DR Leadership and associations, The Kansas/Nebraska Disaster Relief team is looking to deploy disaster relief personnel and churches with a desire to assist in bringing help, healing and hope to victims of the Philippine typhoon. At this time Bob Mills stated that we will retain 50% of whatever is sent to KNCSB DR to assist in sending teams and churches to the Philippines to fulfill our responsibilities as disciples of Jesus to provide a cup of cold water in person. If we cannot raise teams and churches to go then we will send any remaining money on to states that are actually able to mobilize and respond. Funding sent to KNCSB designated for Disaster Relief is the ONLY way to ensure donations will be either sent on to disaster relief organizations on location or assist Kansas-Nebraska disaster relief personnel and CHURCHES go and be the Love of God in action for victims. Therefore, donations to support victims of the Philippine disaster should be sent directly to Kansas-Nebraska Convention of Southern Baptists and identified for support of Philippine operations. A word about responding: First out Baptist Global Response (BGR) SPHERE trained teams from Texas will be followed by teams from Georgia to assess how best Southern Baptist Disaster Relief can respond and establish long-term recovery/rebuild efforts. We will work to get in line now and recruit teams and churches. However, I expect that it may be January-February before we can get to the Philippines with our first groups. Media will play a major role in this disaster for about another two weeks and then the real work to sustain relief, recovery, and rebuild begins. We must take a long-term approach to ministry to help the people of the Philippines recover. If you or your church are interested in being a part of this effort to help the Philippines please contact Lora Robinson at [email protected]. The latest updates are always available at kncsbdr.org
