Disaster Response "Fill the Trailer" Campaign during Annual Conference
The Disaster Response Ministry is conducting a “Fill the Trailer” campaign during Annual Conference. The goal of this initiative is to furnish the Conference’s newest disaster response trailer with the tools and equipment necessary to support early response teams (ERTs) and Volunteers in Mission teams (VIMs) as they follow God’s calling into restorative ministry.
Each congregational delegation is encouraged to prayerfully consider supporting this initiative by either bringing specific tools for the trailer or providing financial support to equip it. If you are led to provide tools, ask your congregation to support their purchase from the attached list of ministry needs. The list is categorized by District. If your delegation feels called to provide financial support, please consider a free-will offering or fundraising effort to fulfill that calling.
When you arrive at Annual Conference, drop your tools and equipment in the trailer that will be at the Disaster Response Ministry informational table. Your financial support can also be dropped off at the table or sent directly to the Conference office noting Disaster Response Ministry Advance #8055.
