In response to Hurricane Milton, Charis Disaster Response (CDR) is actively working to organize response efforts in St. Petersburg, Florida. On Mission Network (OMN), an organization specializing in disaster response, is partnering with CDR to set up a central hub to minister to surrounding areas. CDR coordinator Todd Derry is currently part of a convoy of vehicles and equipment in Florida heading south to set up operations in St. Petersburg (and possibly the Tampa area as well).
If any individuals or teams are interested in helping with the response efforts in Florida, fill out the volunteer form here as soon as possible, even if available dates and details are not yet known. At that link you will find basic information about our CDR area of focus in St. Petersburg, Florida. OMN has their specialty equipment en route, including generators to fully power the facilities we will be using as a base of operations, as well as mobile shower units, etc. On Mission Network and Charis Disaster Response are planning to be set up and ready to start receiving volunteers beginning Monday, October 14.
HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED
1. Pray: The disaster is a reality. The devastation is done. Pray for the people that have been impacted; that God will reveal Himself to them; that God will show us what He is doing in the calamity and how we can join Him in His work.
2. Donate: If God leads you to assist financially, you can do so here.
3. Volunteer: Fill out the potential volunteer form here.
