name: Kentucky Baptist Convention -> Kentucky Baptist Convention - 3/12 Tornadoes

notes: KBC Disaster Relief Active in Madison, Floyd and Pike Counties Release Date: 05/14/2009 RICHMOND – Four teams of Kentucky Baptist Disaster Relief volunteers are helping residents in Madison County recover from a tornado on May 8, and additional teams are aiding areas of Eastern Kentucky affected by last week’s floods. KBC Disaster Relief Associate Coy Webb said more than 15 volunteers from the Tates Creek Baptist Association are currently serving in Madison County after deploying on May 9 to clear debris and complete chainsaw jobs. Several chaplain volunteers are also serving, he said. The active volunteers are from Berea, Georgetown, Hodgenville, Kirksville, Monticello, Mount Vernon, Richmond, Somerset and Winchester. Twelve additional volunteers from Eubank Baptist Church are scheduled to arrive on site by Wednesday morning. The Madison County effort is anticipated to be complete by Friday, May 15, Webb said. The KBC is also organizing relief efforts for areas of Eastern Kentucky affected by recent flooding. Webb said the KBC is targeting its efforts in Floyd, Owsley and Pike counties, where volunteers are assisting with mud-out and feeding. In Pike County, volunteers from Greenville, Louisa, Utica and Williamstown are currently working on mud-out, and volunteers from Clinton, Henderson, Monticello and Pikeville are working with a feeding unit. Webb is expecting eight volunteers to be on site to help with the mud-out effort, in addition to the 11 volunteers already serving with the feeding unit. Mud-out efforts are also underway in Floyd County with volunteers from Ashland, Campbellsville, Campton and Prestonburg. Volunteers from Cadiz, Mount Washington, Paintsville and Shepherdsville are also serving Floyd County with a feeding unit. Webb said by May 15, nine volunteers will be assisting with mud-out. Seventeen volunteers are working with the feeding unit. Local volunteers are also currently working in Jackson. Volunteers serving in Madison County are stationed at First Baptist Church of Richmond. The Pike County team is based out of McVeigh Baptist Church in McVeigh, and Floyd County volunteers are stationed at Maytown Center in Langley. Volunteers are still needed for the work in Eastern Kentucky. Trained volunteers may contact the KBC Baptist Men on Mission office at 502-489-3527 or 866-489-3527 (toll free in Ky.). Contributions to the KBC’s disaster relief efforts may be sent to the KBC, Dept. 5008, P.O. Box 740041, Louisville, KY 40201-9976. Please note “disaster relief” in the check memo. Online donations are also being accepted at www.kybaptist.org/dr. Kentucky Baptists are part of a larger network of Southern Baptist volunteers trained to respond to disasters by manning mass feeding operations, using chainsaws to clear downed trees and limbs, clear mud out of flooded homes and more. Together, Southern Baptists comprise the third largest relief organization in the United States. --------------------------------------------- About the Kentucky Baptist Convention The Kentucky Baptist Convention is a cooperative missions and ministry organization made up of more than 2,400 autonomous Baptist churches in Kentucky. These churches have a total membership of more than 780,000. The term "Kentucky Baptist Convention" refers to both the denomination and its annual meeting. Working through 71 local associations and in cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention, Kentucky Baptists share a common bond of basic Biblical beliefs and a commitment to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world. Each church is self-governing under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Churches elect messengers (not delegates) to various denominational meetings, including the annual convention. The messengers determine the course of many programs, ministries and institutions of the convention and its staff as guided by the KBC Constitution and Bylaws. When the annual convention is not in session, the convention's Mission Board provides leadership for the convention and its staff. Board members are members of Kentucky Baptist churches and serve three-year terms as nominated by their respective associations. Some board members serve at-large terms. People Serving and Working Together The Mission Board staff is responsible for planning, coordinating and implementing a variety of programs and ministries. The staff is divided into five teams: Business Services, Church Development and Evangelism, Executive Office, Leadership Development and Missions Growth. The convention staff operates out of the Kentucky Baptist Building located in Louisville. The Kentucky Baptist Convention also relates to 10 Kentucky agencies and institutions and one auxiliary -- the Kentucky Woman’s Missionary Union. While these organizations relate to and cooperate with the state convention in varying degrees, they operate under the direction of separate boards. The agencies and institutions are: Campbellsville University, Clear Creek Baptist Bible College, University of the Cumberlands, Georgetown College, Oneida Baptist Institute, Baptist Healthcare System, Sunrise Children's Services (formerly Kentucky Baptist Homes for Children), Kentucky Baptist Foundation, Kentucky Baptist Assemblies and the Western Recorder (the state Baptist newspaper). ============ Directories On the website below you will find links to searchable directories of church, association and KBC staff member information.
