LUTHERAN DISASTER RESPONSE

Sharing and Caring of those affected by a disaster has become an important ministry for North Carolina Lutheran Men in Mission (NCLMM).

 Following disasters, many survivors struggle to pull their lives back together.  Losses, human and possessions, result in a traumatic impact on their lives as well as others in the impacted community.

Significant financial support by Lutheran men, congregations and individuals, allowed NCLMM to purchase a 18 ft cargo trailer and equip it with a wide range of salvage and construction equipment. In 1995 NCLMM purchased a cargo box truck to pull the trailer and added additional salvage and construction equipment. In 2005 NCLMM added a 16 ft. cargo trailer to the ministry and located all salvage equipment on the new trailer with the existing truck and trailer designated as a contraction unit.

Thrivent Financial Services for Lutherans also supported the NCLMM disaster response ministry with several grants in addition to providing the “wrapping” of the new trailer at no cost to NCLMM.

Since inception of the NCLMM disaster response ministry, the equipment has been used by Lutheran and other denomination's volunteers in North Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. Following Hurricane Katrina, the equipment was used for over two years while it was located at Lutheran Disaster Reponses work sites in Louisiana and Alabama.
