5/23/11 COC DRT NEWSLETTER:

Greetings,

I’m sure many of you have heard about the Large and Very Destructive Tornado that struck the city of Joplin, Missouri last night.

As of this writing, there are 89 reported to have been killed and many more are expected to be added to that number as the search and rescue phase continues.
From what we know so far, over 2,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed. Many of those residential homes.
DRT has been in touch with the Mount Hope Church of Christ in Joplin, MO., and are deploying a team of coordinators today to help get the relief effort set up and running immediately.

As you also know, DRT also has a command center set up in Tuscaloosa, AL. working with the Central, Northport and University churches in Tuscaloosa. We are also working with the Highland Park church in Muscle Shoals, AL. helping them in any way we can. We will continue working in the Alabama areas as well as beginning an additional effort in Joplin, MO.

Below is a list of ways you can help.... And YES.....1 PERSON CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!

PRAY—Please continually pray for the survivors of all of these disasters as well as the volunteers ministering to them.

VOLUNTEER—If you are able to volunteer at any of these locations, please register on the DRT website. **Remember to put the dates you will be onsite as well as approx. arrival and departure times. DRT will provide housing (usually the church building) and will provide 3 meals/day for the volunteers. Skilled as well as unskilled volunteers are needed.

MONETARY DONATIONS—With so many disasters taking place this spring the DRT funds are quickly being exhausted. We urge you to please consider helping in this way. DRT helps those without/under insured with building material, cooking and serving thousands of meals to the communities, bringing in tools and supplies that are needed, etc. and you donations are all tax deductible.

SUPPLIES— Please check the website. As certain supplies are needed they will be added to the website. http://www.churchesofchristdrt.org


DONATIONS CAN BE MADE ONLINE THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR CAN BE MAILED TO:

A REMINDER OF WHAT THE DISASTER RESPONSE TEAM OFFERS:

1. Trained 1st Response Volunteer Coordinators brought in to help your congregation set up a relief effort working with distribution, clean up and rebuilding phases.
2. 30' Commerical Mobile Kitchen Unit brought in to serve 3,000-4,000 meals/day to community and volunteers.
3. 1st Response Semi Tool Trailer and several additional stocked tool trailers brought in loaded with generators, chain saws, shovels, hammers, wheelbarrows, basically any tool that will be needed by volunteers.
4. RV's brought in to help house volunteers.
5. Shower trailer for volunteer use.
6. Database of thousands of volunteers who have signed up with DRT that are called in to work.
7. DRT helps to purchase food and building material.

This is all possible through financial donations from churches and individuals from across the globe and by the wonderful volunteers who work with DRT. DRT is in need of more volunteers as well as funding. DRT regrets we cannot guarantee that your donation will go to the specific disaster you may request especially with concurrent disasters. However, DRT does guarantee that your tax deductable donation will be put to very good use helping survivors of disasters with physical, emotional and spiritual help and guidance.
