Baptist General Convention of Texas 2008

Since 2000, The Hurricane IKE event was the second time in the history of Texas Baptist Men Disaster Relief (TBMDR) that disaster relief volunteers and units from other state conventions were required. We want to thank all who responded to God’s call. TBMDR is grateful for the largest number ever of volunteers to respond to a disaster at one time.

There is an article that was featured in The Orange County Record about TBM's assistance in the feeding in Orange, Texas.

Texas Baptist Men, a disaster-relief organization that cooked meals for the Orange County Chapter of the American Red Cross, stir one of their last at North Orange Baptist Church.

Each year Texas Baptist Men sets up a Compass course and teaches basic compass skills to participants in addition to sharing spiritual applications related to Christ.  We also provide a water station and give out cups of water in Jesus' name.  This year more than 1,200 visitors participated in the Compass course at the TP&W Expo..

Texas Baptist Men continue to support Hurricane Ike effortts with one kitchen unit, 2 shower units and 2 chainsaw units at this time. More chainsaw units are expected to respond as team members are able to deploy.
Communities have begun shifting into long term recovery phase. Please continue to pray for those affected by the devistation of Hurricane Ike.
