My experience as a new language learner has reminded me of the incredible volume of words and word forms that must be learned before one can communicate fluently.

"Almost four weeks ago, Georgia Baptist Disaster Relief converged on Valdosta, GA in the immediate aftermath of a CAT 2 Hurricane. 30,000+ meals prepared, 309 residential help requests with trees and tarps, 1200+ ministry contacts and 10 salvations. What a time of ministry. None of this could have been completed without our amazing DR Volunteers from all across Georgia and beyond. Hundreds said yes to the call to Bring Help, Hope, and Healing to a 5 county area of South Georgia. We invite you to join the GBDR Family.
The last scheduled training for Disaster Relief is October 6th and 7th at FBC Jonesboro. You can register here: https://gabaptist.org/resource/disaster-relief-training/
The initial training is an introduction on Friday evening and a choice of at least one area on Saturday morning. The choices for Saturday morning are: feeding, clean-up and recovery, family care, and shower/laundry services. Please consider joining the "Yellow Shirt Army". We have volunteers in an age range from 20s - 80s. You don't have to be physically able to work the chain saws or cook in the heat inside or outside to serve. There are lots of other ways to work as a GBDR volunteer. Contact us at KBA office @706-595-5324 or kbaassistant@yahoo.com for further information.
