GEM 2018 Missie

Orkaan Florence

Fase 1:

Hulp bij rampen

Global Empowerment Mission reageerde in de eerste fase, de rampenbestrijding, door een onmiddellijke respons te geven.

GEM had haar beoordelingsteams binnen twee dagen na de ramp ter plaatse. Met hulp van een gevangenisbewaarder uit Noord-Carolina bereikten het GEM-team en de vrijwilligers van Third Wave Fayetteville en beoordeelden drie schuilplaatsen:

  • Het True Vine Ministries onderkomen met Pastor Ernest Jones en Directeur Chad Beasley
  • De Pinetree Shelter directeur
  • Het Mana kerkasiel

 

Op dag 2 sloten GEM en The Third Wave Volunteers team onder leiding van Alison Thompson zich aan bij de lokale reddingspogingen met de Cajun Navy en voerden zoek- en reddingsmissies uit.

Op dag 3 werd $40.000 aan cadeaubonnen uitgedeeld aan het opvangtehuis van de Manna Church en het Pine Forest opvangtehuis in Fayetteville, samen met speelgoed, dierenvoeding, voedsel, water en hygiëneproducten die genereus werden gedoneerd door Bethenny Frankel en Bstrong.
