This training is by Baptist Global Response, and will take place online on July 24-25, 2020 for FREE!!! In order to register, all you have to do is email Carolyn Battle that you would like to attend. The training will be via Zoom from 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. on Friday and 8:00 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The registration deadline is July 21. Before the training, you will receive a link by email you can use to log in to the training.

This one training will provide a body of information that will help responders and volunteers better prepare to help those in need after disasters have struck. The more we prepare, the more effectively we will be able to assist those affected by a disaster. The training is designed to utilize classroom instruction and participatory, small group activities and will be led by an experienced disaster responder/trainer. The objective of the training is to produce trained responders who can effectively and efficiently assist a community of disaster survivors and then possibly help that community get on the road to rehabilitation and reduce future vulnerability.

• Biblical Basis for Disaster Response

• Disaster Response Basics

• Disaster Response Personal and Team Preparation

• Disaster Needs Assessment

• Disaster Response Team Structure

• what to do in a Disaster Response

Ministering to Preschoolers and Children in Challenging Times Webinar July 28, 2020

Ministering to Preschoolers and Children in Challenging Times Webinar

July 28, 2020 * 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

As churches begin to reopen their preschool and children’s ministries, what will nursery, Sunday School, children’s worship and other programs look like in the days to come? Patty Burns and Belinda Stroud, state missionaries for preschool and children’s ministries, will be leading a discussion about the “new normal” in this area. We will discuss children’s ministry in a socially distanced world, how to provide a clean and safe environment for children and preschoolers, ways to involve children in your worship service, and many other great ideas on how your church can minister to and disciple children, preschoolers, and their families. Join us for this conversation! Click the link below to register.
