Alaska Baptist Disaster Relief Update
Bringing Help, Hope, and Healing to People in Crisis
Alaska Baptist Disaster Relief is comprised of volunteers who form a part of a nationwide Christian network which goes out of its way to share the "love of Christ" by ministering to those who have been affected by a disaster. ​We network with Southern Baptists across various states and with state and local governments, non-profits, and faith-based organizations to accomplish our work without cost to those who have been affected by disasters. We encourage you to have a plan and be prepared if a disaster strikes where you live. Consider being a part of bringing help, hope, and healing to others through Alaska Baptist Disaster Relief.
The best way to get involved is to join us in training. Register to join us for our next training event - Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 2, 3 and 4, 2025 at Laverne Griffin Camp, 4495 W. Little Cloud Dr., Wasilla 99623. There is no charge to attend this training and no charge for the meals within our training schedule. There will be a $40 fee for those who join the ABDR team, get a shirt, and get the photo ID.

Ready to take a closer look? Southern Baptist Disaster Relief is a Christian network bringing HELP, HOPE, and HEALING to people in crisis.
Alaska Baptist Disaster Relief, a ministry of the Alaska Baptist Resource Network, working with our national partner - Send Relief, is 1000s of local churches within 42 Southern Baptist State Conventions serving, preparing, and training collaboratively for God's glory and sharing God's great love for the good of people, especially during times of crisis when people are seeking answers! Alaska Baptist Disaster Relief offers preparation and training sessions throughout the year in local churches to enable families, church volunteers, and team members to respond in their community and throughout our state alongside FEMA, Emergency Management, and other government, private, and faith-based agencies and/or ministries.
With preparation and training within local churches and by "Calling Out" more than 95,000+ currently equipped volunteers on state disaster relief teams, we respond to most disasters in the US and 100s more across the world each year. "We envision all SBC life engaged in disaster relief preparation and training through the church, to serve the community, and for the Gospel." By God's grace, we bring Help and Hope, and the Gospel brings Healing. God started His kingdom on earth with Jesus – it is Good News! In a very troubled world, He is reconciling all things to himself (Col. 1:20).
Serving with you, Gary Bearce, Alaska Baptist Disaster Relief Coordinator
