Rapid Reponse Team Continues to Equip

Seminars to help you minister

July 9, 2009 - Man-made and natural disasters can happen at any time, but coworkers, neighbors, friends and family do not need to go through a hurricane or earthquake to experience a personal storm or shattered life.

The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team invites you to attend a special seminar that will help you share God's love and comfort in times of everyday crises and during major disasters.

This full-day seminar trains people to appropriately share the love and hope of Jesus Christ to those affected by personal crisis, man-made catastrophe or natural disaster. Attendees will:

• Learn how to appropriately provide emotional and spiritual care.


• Learn skills to share God's love and comfort with people in crisis.


• Learn how churches can develop ministry to those in crisis within their community.


• Find out more about the Rapid Response Team ministry and opportunities to serve as a volunteer chaplain.

To find out more about seminar schedules, deployment, training, testimonies and stories, or how to apply to be part of the Rapid Response Team, visit our Web site. For more specific information about the seminars, including registration, click on "Sharing Hope in Crisis."

To learn how your church can host a regional training seminar, call 1-800-335-1337 (9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET, Monday-Friday), or e-mail RRT@bgea.org.
