ACTs Disaster Relief
Saving lives and bringing hope to the least, the last and the lost.
ACTION CRISIS TEAMS
Thank you for your interest in ACTS Disaster Relief. Since the horrific events of Katrina and Rita we have found the need of an organized and multi-church effort to offer a greater span of availability and service to those affected by disaster. From that time forward, we have witnessed the growth and development of FEMA and the requirements needed to serve in disaster areas controlled by FEMA (any "declared" disaster). We have found ACTS to be an answer in training, credentials and organization recognized (but not apart of) government agencies. We are diligently working on building a network of Christian Believers to serve in disaster relief. Humanitarian relief is crucial, but without the Love of Christ, the relief is only temporary and this is why we are coming to you.Thus we will minister with humanitarian relief and minister the Word of God, His unfailing love and His gift of salvation, wherever He leads us.
What are we asking of you and your Church?
We recognize you are already incredibly busy and the idea of “taking on” a new ministry can often be a burden. We would like you or your delegate to just be a point person in making the announcement to your fellowship in the time of need. We know if you send out the call for help your congregation will answer. It may not be for the entire congregation, but we recognize the 1-15% (sometimes more) of believers in churches want to respond in crisis situations. We want to be able to call on you or your delegate to send the message out in a time of need.
What does it take to be trained?
What it takes to equip your church is simply hosting a training conference. A complete conference is 3 days, but the training can be tailored to meet your needs.
What is offered in the training?
· Servant Responder Course
· Basic Chaplains Course
· Basic Leadership Course
As this ministry is designed to serve in disaster, several churches have also found the trained servants to be very diligent in helps ministry, police and fire chaplains, leadership and available servants in any time of need.
What happens after your fellowship is trained?
We need one leader to act as the coordinator of your fellowship either you or your delegate. In the time of disaster we will:
1. Contact this coordinator
2. Will advise the coordinator to call the trained servants and ask who can respond
3. Start “Mobilization” (after prayer) with the 2nd contact to the coordinator, at this time all necessary information for “Deployment” will be given.
