ERT – Open Invitation for All

by | Sep 8, 2017 | Not In USe

By Polly Turner

“Where he leads me, I will follow … I will go Lord, where you lead me, I will hold your people in my hand.”

We sang it. Now we are called by God to do it, in Texas. Make it happen, and find the fulfillment that disaster work brings. Register online for training or to join a team. Information and updates for both are available at www.dscumc.org/hurricane-harvey-response.

Because of the Conference to Conference relationships involved, if you wish to lead a team or your church wants to schedule an ERT trip, please coordinate either through Fred Heggestad at 702-277-6961 or fheggestad@msn.com or Polly Turner at  480-897-2880 or polly@ix.netcom.com. One of our  Disaster Response tool trailers will be scheduled for you in TX.

ERT TEAM DEPLOYMENTS (an open invitation for all)

Open weeks will have some local church teams and teams from other conferences that we work with. If the week works for you, contact the team leader and sign up for that team.

Access Deployment List

Chainsaw Teams are working in Rockport already and can train more ERT certified volunteers on-site to assist as Chainsaw Team-members. If you are ERT certified or are getting ERT certified soon and want to volunteer as a Chainsaw Team member, contact Jim Reeves at jim44@cox.net. Once you are certified, you too can be chainsaw certified and serve in this capacity.
