Southern Baptists around the world are asked to stop for a few minutes on Sunday, November 4, and recognize their Convention Disaster Relief Volunteers. These volunteers represent Jesus every time they respond to a disaster by showing His compassion in time of need.
During the most recent hurricane responses, Ohio Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (SCBODR) have responded to North Carolina by sending a flood recovery team and a chain saw team. Two deliveries of donated items, including approximately $2,000.00 in gift cards have also been delivered to a warehouse in Washington, North Carolina. A team of ten (10), flood recovery team members are headed for Panama City, Florida on November 3, to serve for a week.
