Donate now to disaster relief

 

The motivation behind Southern Baptist Disaster Relief efforts can be summed up in one phrase. “A cup of cold water in Jesus’ name.” Southern Baptist Disaster Relief is following the example Jesus established when He fed 5,000 and the 4,000 and His teachings in the parable of the Good Samaritan and Matthew 25:31-46.

Southern Baptist Disaster Relief is Christian love in action. It is meeting the urgent needs of hurting humanity in crisis situations with loving care and a timely response as James 2:15-16 instructs us to do.

The Southern Baptist Disaster Relief logo incorporates two types of ministry, physical and spiritual, exemplified by Christ.

 

 

TEXAS FLOOD UPDATE

Aloha volunteers,
 
 Southern Baptist of Texas Convention disaster relief and Texas Baptist Men disaster relief need help urgently. The flooding you most likely have seen on news in Texas is really bad. Texas DR is reporting thousands of homes are flooded including some of our churches.
You can form a team from your church to go or if just a few can go, there will be equipment and supplies there on site. You can join other teams as well. Food, lodging and shower/laundry will be provided. You will need to provide your airfare and ground transportation. However, we can check with the teams on-site to pick up and return to the airport as well. We need flood recovery, assessment, Incident Command, and Chaplains to go. Contact me if you have questions or would like to go and I will get you set up with Texas Disaster relief.
 
To donate for Texas, you can go directly to the http://sbtexas.com/evangelism/disaster-relief/imelda-flood-relief—donate/ or https://tbmtx.org/donate  or you can give to your church or mail a check to HPBC 2042 Vancouver Drive, Honolulu, HI 96822 or go online at https://www.hpbaptist.net/disaster-relief/  Mark for Texas flood relief.
 
The Bahamas is still in emergency response stage and BGR and SBDR will work together to send teams soon for a long term response just like in Puerto Rico. If you would like to make a donation you can give directly online at gobgr.org. The Bahamas will require a passport to enter.

 

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS (Hurricane Season)

Hawaii Hurricane Season starts June 1st through November 30th. However the weather does not know we have a time frame! Weather can happen anytime especially here in Hawaii. It is time to update or start your preparedness kits.
I have a link to our Family Preparedness Manual that will help you prepare for all disasters. Remember in Hawaii and the Pacific you should have fourteen days of food, water and supplies instead of three days for the mainland.
