| . . . that God calls
all people, including youth, to respond to disaster as a witness
to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
. . . that young people can be prepared, through skill building,
Bible study, and learning activities, to take an active part
in relief and recovery efforts following disasters.
. . . that youth have energy, concern, and commitment to offer
to those who are suffering from the effects of both major, wide-spread
disasters and local emergencies. With training, young people
can fully participate with adults in the work of clean-up and
rebuilding.
THIS MATERIAL has been developed to provide resources for youth
leaders, church pastors, camp directors, and others who want
to prepare young people for ministry in disaster situations.
This resource can help your group plan and prepare for a work
camp or mission trip, or it can help you prepare for dealing
with disasters in your own community. The five modules can be
used over a period of several weeks or in one weekend retreat
setting.
