More than 30 volunteers were trained on how to set up and run mass feeding units during a disaster relief training led by Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief leadership. The training was in partnership with Birmingham Baptist Association (BBA) at First Baptist Church, Trussville, on May 1–2.
Participants were shown the basics — from how to prepare meals to the process of serving on the front lines of a disaster or even operating The Salvation Army’s mobile kitchen.
Kyle Jeffreys, Alabama Baptist’s state feeding coordinator, led several training sessions.
“(The training) was a wonderful time of fellowship and … the volunteers were so attentive,” Jeffreys said. “They have a great opportunity to share Christ as they help hurting people during times of disastrous situations.”
Greg Moore and his wife, Becky, both BBA disaster relief coordinators, also led training sessions during the event. Mel Johnson, Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions disaster relief strategist, opened the event and participated in several of the training sessions.
