Volunteers Trained Through Hawaii Pacific Baptist Disaster Relief

Over 60 Volunteers Trained Through Hawaii Pacific Baptist Disaster Relief

By Hannah Denney

On July 29, Hawaii Pacific Baptists received a stark reminder of the importance of preparedness when a tsunami warning posed a real threat to the Islands. As we also mark the two-year anniversary of the Maui Fires, our disaster relief directors continue to equip and train churches to respond swiftly when natural disasters strike.

This year, Disaster Relief has held two trainings: 45 volunteers attended Olivet Baptist (29 new, 6 renewing), and 18 attended Waialae Baptist (13 new, 5 renewing). Across the state, Disaster relief is planning more trainings.

Credentials must be renewed every three years and many volunteers need to update theirs. If you or your church want to participate in or are willing to host a training, contact John and Gay Williams at disasterrelief@hpbaptist.net or 808-356-8343
