Mission to the World (PCA)

How you can be involved in the Disaster Response Ministry:

Are you a health professional? Medical Teams open the doors in many fields. We work alongside national workers to provide needed medical care after a disaster has occurred. We have the capabilities to set up acute care and mobile clinics, make "home/tent" visits, and provide community health education.

Are you a person with good organization and administration skills? When a disaster team hits the ground, the team is eager to get on with the mission, be it setting up one of the first medical clinics in the area or assisting with construction or counseling. Unless the team has an internal organizational structure for water purification, procuring food, meal preparation and the like, the team will quickly disintegrate and become non-functional. While the team leader is often focused on coordinating the activities of the team members for serving the camp, the Aide-de-camp (ADC) and lay persons are focused on coordinating all the responsibilities necessary to keep the team healthy. These roles are the most important ones on the team. Often these people have unique opportunities to be ambassadors between the team and those the team serves.

Are you a counselor or a pastor? It is crucial that crisis counseling occur as soon as possible post-disaster. We provide group and one-on-one counseling for men and women. We provide onsite seminars in practical crisis counseling for pastors, elders, and deacons of affected areas and provide the counseling tools for them to minister to their communities.

Are you an engineer or have a background in construction or other technical disciplines? These specialties place you in a unique position to provide expertise that supports our work in the field and opens wider doorways for sharing the gospel message. Our reach is very broad—the Disaster Response Ministry provides needs assessment, project leadership, and coordination with other NGO’s as well as sending in rebuilding teams. Our missionaries are often involved in areas where knowledgeable advice or direct help is needed.

Engineering and Missions, a new specialized sector of the Disaster Response Ministry, was created in January 2008 by one of DRM’s senior consulting engineers to promote, encourage, develop, and facilitate the use of engineering disciplines for the advancement of God’s kingdom.
