SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The last of the disaster relief volunteers who responded to this summer’s massive flooding in Minot, N.D., ended their work on the first day of the Dakota Baptist Convention’s (DBC) annual meeting.
The DBC’s opening session included a time of appreciation for the hundreds of disaster relief-trained feeding, mud-out, shower/laundry and chaplain volunteers from across the nation who showed through statewide media coverage the strength of Southern Baptists cooperating together.
“You prayed, you gave, you came — thank you,” said Fred MacDonald, DBC disaster relief coordinator.
“Southern Baptists lived out Jesus’ call to ‘go and do the same.’ We’ve been blessed by this, and encouraged, and strengthened for the work that remains,” MacDonald said.
He also thanked the North American Mission Board for its partnership, saying, “They provided funds and sent leadership to coordinate the effort.”
