- I am Larry Brewer,
a member of the Alabama Disaster Relief Team,
and I'm here to talk to you a little bit today
about the Alabama Disaster Relief.
It's a great organization.
It goes into a lot of different areas that helps people,
helps us share Jesus,
the hope, the love, the compassion,
in people's worst moments.
If you look around this warehouse here,
we have a lot of state-of-the-art equipment
that we can go in, providing services,
everything from ovens, griddles.
We've got our generators.
We've got bath houses, wash houses,
that we can go in,
and it helps people.
Part of the organization that goes on
that helps us is the training.
They offer training in chainsaw and mud out.
They offer training in chaplain services.
I'm part of the Strike Team
that's attached to the mass feeding.
We go in and set up the tents.
We set up the ovens, the coolers.
We set up the wash areas
and a disaster relief area,
and then we sit there and maintain it.
So the training allows us to work with FEMA
and other national organizations
as we go into these areas to help out.
So again, your Myers-Mallory Offering,
that's what it goes to.
It goes to buy this equipment.
It goes to train people.
It goes to help us to get into these areas
that can really spread the gospel right here,
especially when people are hurting.
Tornadoes, hurricanes,
a lot of different things that can happen,
we're able to go in because of your gifts,
because of your love,
sharing with the Myers-Mallory Offering.
And so again, when you hear that name,
think about this, think about this,
what you're providing right here at home
in the state of Alabama
and surrounding states
as we go in and help people.
