    NOVEMBER 2013

    The last week of September was

    genuinely one of the most joyful weeksof my life! I pulled on my mud boots

    and ministered to the victims of the

    devastating Colorado floods. It was an

    honor to serve as a chaplain for the

    Billy Graham Rapid Response Team and

    serve alongside the tireless Samaritans

    Purse volunteers. I was amazed by allthe undeniable ways that God ordered

    our steps...giving us numerous doors to

    minister to the emotional and spiritual

    needs of the flood victims. Many

    people we met were living on

    tilt...grappling with losing much of what

    they had owned and digging out of fourfeet of mud in their homes. It was such

    a beautiful opportunity to bring hope

    to communities that have been utterly

    shaken by this crisis that they never saw

    coming.

    Bringing hope to the flood victims...

    MANY HOMEOWNERS ASKED US,

    WHY ARE YOU HELPING US FOR

    FREE?! IN THE WAKE OF BEING

    LOVED AND SACRIFICIALLY

    SERVED, PEOPLES HEARTS BEGAN

    TO MELT AND OPEN UP TO GOD!

    2/3

    I believe that the increased shakings

    we are experiencing now (fires, floods,

    tornadoes, hurricanes, schoolshootings, terrorist attacks and more)

    are just the beginning and that we will

    see a rise in these kind of events in our

    day and in our land. As disaster

    strikes, we have an unprecedented

    opportunity to minister the life-giving

    hope and heart-healing love of God.

    In the wake of disaster, people are so

    much more aware of their need for

    Unshakeable Love and True Security.

    I believe that God is raising up and

    equipping a boldly compassionate

    disaster relief army in this hour to

    march to the sound of His heartbeat!

    Ive been enlisted!

    Just as disaster strikes suddenly, the call

    to go and volunteer in disaster zones

    often comes as a suddenly. This

    makes the ministry of disaster relief

    different than most mission trips which

    are normally planned for well in

    advance. I feel strongly led to prepare

    NOW so that Ill be ready and able to

    go when the next time comes.

    So far, Ive done what I believe God has

    asked me to do to prepare to GO ondisaster relief deployments. Ive taken

    crisis management classes, chaplain

    training, and invested in purchasing

    disaster relief gear. This is a strictly

    volunteer ministry. For me, the cost of

    deployment involves taking off work at

    a moments notice, not having an

    income during the time that I am

    deployed due to being self-employed,

    and paying for all of my travel expenses.

    God is raising up and equipping a boldly

    compassionate disaster relief army in this hour...

    JESUS SAID, THE HARVEST

    IS PLENTIFUL, BUT THE

    LABORERS ARE FEW.

    Travel expenses will vary drastically

    depending on the deployment location

    which at times will include goingoverseas. This ministry is certainly not

    for the faint of heart as it involves

    rough conditions, long hours, and

    potential risks to personal safety and

    health, but the eternal rewards are

    great.

    Would you prayerfully consider

    partnering with me financially on a

    monthly basis so that I would be

    released to GO at a moments notice

    on these disaster relief missions? I am

    very well aware that the only way this

    will be possible is in community with

    others. I see a whole army marching

    together in rhythm...some out on the

    front lines...some on the home

    front...but all serving together as

    laborers in this great ripe field!

    Yours for the Harvest,

    Donya Duggleby
