The length of the Dallas deployment will depend on how many of the 200 homeowners with damage need help. Often, homeowners don’t have flood insurance to cover the damage.
“We couldn’t do this without the support of the Southern Baptist Convention and without the donations, because we’re a volunteer group,” Brandenburg said. “I just appreciate all the people who donate, and the companies, and the Southern Baptist Convention that help support us so we can go out and do this.”
Wells, who retired from the pastorate of Sandy Baptist Church in Hillsboro, Mo., before serving with TBM, said he has seen God work through disaster relief ministry for decades.
“I’ve seen through the years that DR is really the hands and feet of Jesus. We’ve seen that through working with churches and as I led my churches to do these things, saw volunteers’ lives changes and saw the survivors’ lives changed,” Wells told Baptist Press. “Through that, it changed my life in that of helping others, and being those hands and feet of the Lord.
“And we preach and we teach that through Southern Baptists, but what I see in disaster relief is one of the arms that does it on a regular basis and does it in a powerful, powerful way.”
