			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://fbc-e.org/newsite/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/gbcdr_logo.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1709 alignnone" title="gbcdr_logo" src="http://fbc-e.org/newsite/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/gbcdr_logo.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="96" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>The information below is from the Georgia Baptist Convention&#8217;s Disaster Relief website:</strong></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Disaster Relief</strong> is a ministry-based approach to impacting people for the Kingdom of God.  Our motto of <em><strong>Serving Christ in Crisis</strong></em> has two implications:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>We serve Christ to those persons who are victims of disaster.</li>
<li>When we minister to persons in need, we are serving Christ (Matthew 25:40)</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The goal of Disaster Relief is to provide some measure of normalcy for the victims of a disaster event.</p>
<p>Disaster Relief focuses on five areas of ministry:</p>
<p><strong>Chaplaincy | Child Care | Clean-Up &amp; Recovery | Communications | Feeding </strong></p>
<p>Everyone who wants to be involved in  this ministry must be &#8220;Phase 1&#8243; trained.  This training is offered three  times each year in various locations of the state.</p>
<p><strong>Phase 1 Training</strong> is required for all volunteers.  At this training you will receive an  introduction to the Disaster Relief Ministry of Georgia Baptists as well  as hands-on training in one of the five ministry areas.  Phase 1  trainings are held each January, February, and March in preparation for  the storm season.  <em>(Training Fees if paid by registration deadline:   Phase 1=$40, Recertification = $20, Cross-training in another Ministry  Area = $40.) </em></p>
<p>﻿﻿<strong>Introduction to Disaster Relief Training</strong> is for those persons who want to learn about Disaster Relief and see if it is a ministry they would like to be part of.  (Registration is required but there are no training fees.  It&#8217;s FREE!)</p>
<p><strong>Recertification Training</strong> is required every 3 years to remain active and can be accomplished at any of the Phase 1 trainings offered in January, February, and March of each year.  If attending for recertification in Childcare, Communications, Clean-up &amp; Recovery, or Feeding, attendance is only required at the morning session.  If attending for recertification in Chaplaincy, attendance is required at both the morning and afternoon sessions.  (Training fees if paid by registration deadline:  $20.)</p>
<p><strong>Phase 2 Training</strong> is designed for volunteers who sense the Lord leading them to become involved in this ministry at a leadership level.  (Training Fees = $35.  Additional charges may occur.  See registration form for details.)</p>
<p><strong>Upcoming Local Training Dates:</strong></p>
<p><strong>PHASE 1 TRAINING:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>APRIL 14, 2012</strong><br />
Tabernacle Baptist Church<br />
