Louisiana Disaster Relief

LA Disaster Relief BadgeIn Matthew 25:40 Jesus tells us, " to the extent that you did it to the least of them you did it unto me."

When Louisiana Baptist see people hungry, thirsty, and suffering from a disastrous event, we respond through the Disaster Relief Ministries of the Men's Ministry Department of the Louisiana Baptist Convention.
Disasters come in many shapes and sizes. Louisiana Disaster Relief has ministered to the victims of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and even war. We have fed thousands of meals in locations ranging from South Carolina to California, and Mexico City to Iran.

Louisiana Baptist Men's Ministry has one mass feeding unit, a 32 ft. food service trailer capable of preparing over 25,000 meals a day. There are also 3 regional feeding units in Louisiana. One in St. Tammany Baptist Association, one in the Baptist Association of New Orleans, each capable of preparing 5,000 to 7,500 meals a day, and one in the Ruston area ministry of Rolling Hills Baptist Resort Ministry which is capable of preparing 25,000 meals per day.

Disaster Relief is more than just providing hot meals. Southern Baptists also help with clean up, childcare, first aid, and shelter. Our equipment and generators are often the only sources of communication and electricity in disaster areas. Our Mission Builders Fellowship has helped with reconstruction both here in the United States and in other countries like Jamaica.
