The PNEC DISASTER RESPONSE MINISTRY TEAM is made up of 100 people who represent 68 churches throughout our Conference. Our role is long term recovery; we are not First Responders.
Our spiritual guidelines are:
*offer security
*listen
*be quiet
*support
*stay theologically neutral
*serve
*avoid "fixing" things
*pray
*focus on the survivors' needs
