Flooding in South Carolina
Historic, record flooding in South Carolina affected thousands of homes between Columbia and the coast in early October. NCBM Disaster Relief setup first in Brunswick County, NC to assist with cleanout of flooded homes. Then, we were invited by SC Baptists to setup first in Horry County and then later in Florence County. At this time we have 3 sites in operation: Longs, Johnsonville, and Socastee. To date, over 113 jobs have been completed, 10,000+ meals prepared and 1,642 volunteer days served in this response. However, the work is not complete. Flood waters in some areas are just starting to recede. We plan on being involved for the long haul. Please develop a team and sign up at www.baptistsonmission.org/carolinaflooding2015.

Red Springs and Shelby Mission Camps
Teams serving at Red Springs and Shelby Mission Camps have the opportunity to make an impact on people's lives. The Mission Camp Leadership will identify a project based on the current need and the skills of your team. While the service provided by teams is important in and of itself, the opportunity to build relationships, pray for, and minister to the community is the real purpose of the Mission Camps.
