Colorado Baptists Display Christ's Love for Storm Victims

Disaster Relief

Posted Tue, 2012-02-07 16:39 by Church Planting...

By RMB Staff

Westcliffe-Residents along the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains endured snapping trees, downed power lines, and damage to their homes and businesses as wind gusts of more than 100 mph whipped into Westcliffe the evening of Nov. 12 and continued into the next morning.

As volunteers arrived to assist with the clean up, it was First Baptist Church of Westcliffe who first opened its doors. The church hosted the Colorado Baptist Disaster Relief Team and helped feed the 39 volunteers who came from all over the state. Base operations were moved in the following weeks to Horn Creek Christian Camp, which had sustained a lot of damage from the storm and was one of the clean-up sites for the DR team. Read more

Mud-Out in Minot

Disaster Relief

Posted Mon, 2011-08-22 14:38 by Heather Brown

God worked many wondrous things through His servants of the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. Teams from all across America have responded to the Lord's call and traveled to the city of Minot, North Dakota.

Some worked as Chaplains, some in mud-out operations, some operated mobile kitchens and laundry units and some in the Incident Command Center. Colorado Baptists Disaster Relief sent a team of 11 workers the week of July 30-August 7. Three members of this team served in a chaplain role, while the remaining eight team members worked in mud-out recovery. There were 19 professions of faith and several re-dedications as of our departure. Our mud-out team spent four days completing one home that had been started by a different team. We then started a second job before being re-assigned to assessment duties. We completed three home assessments before our departure. Read more
