Campus ministers receive disaster relief training

Campus ministers from across the state recently gathered for a “train the trainer” session with Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief (DR) personnel. The session’s purpose was to equip and train campus ministers to be ready to train students in the event of a disaster. Nate Young, campus minister at the University of Alabama, said, “[Disaster Relief] is one of the best kept secrets of (Alabama) Baptists. I’m hopeful that equipping and involving collegiates will make it one of the most widely known strengths of (Alabama) Baptists. Involving collegiates in DR will enable collegiates to more effectively serve in times of need and also build bridges between generations.”
