CBDR Director, Dennis Belz

Posted Mon, 2012-10-08 10:33 by Heather Brown

We are excited to introduce Dennis Belz as the new Colorado Disaster Relief Director. Dennis comes with a strong recommendation from Fritz Wilson, the new Executive Director of North American Mission Board’s Disaster Relief.  Fritz says of Dennis,

“Dennis has a true servant’s heart coupled with a passion to share Christ with everyone he encounters. He has a strong background in working with volunteers and disaster relief.  The most important thing is that Dennis is a terrific relationship builder.  He has the rare ability to immediately connect with just about anyone, whether it be with volunteers, emergency management partners or with community leaders.  It would be hard to find a better candidate than Dennis.”

Gratitude for Southern Baptist Disaster Relief

As my husband and I were watching the ABC’s World News with Diane Sawyer, tears welled up in my eyes as we saw picture after picture of the devastation and chaos caused by the F-5 tornado that ripped through Moore, Oklahoma.

Then suddenly, there on the television screen were those familiar, bright yellow hats and shirts of the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. Just as I was processing Diane talking about faith-based organizations, Sam Porter, Oklahoma’s Disaster Relief Director, was interviewed and explained how there were able to respond almost immediately. (Click here to watch the interview. Sam's interview starts 30 minutes and 15 seconds into the broadcast.)

By Dennis Belz

Long Island, N.Y.-When our Colorado Disaster Relief team left for New York on December 7th, we were embarking on a 2,000 mile journey. Thirty hours later, we arrived in Long Island expecting to do chain saw work, but were told we were needed to help mud-out and clean-up homes.

What a blessing it was to have such a great team of volunteers that could leave things behind to go and assist those in need. The Colorado Baptist Disaster Relief team consisted of Gay Williams, Vanguard Church, Co Springs; Sam Bonham, North Cheyenne Baptist, Wyoming, Fred & Jeanne Hoffman, Ken Caryl Baptist, Littleton, Rich Nanny, Riverside - Castle Rock; Jonathan Young, Riverside Baptist, Denver; Dennis Belz, Longs Peak Church, Longmont. We were joined by Larry Baker and Richard Perrine from the Maryland/Delaware Disaster Relief.
