Please be in prayer for those impacted by the Japan earthquake today. Tennessee Baptist Disaster Relief leadership is monitoring the situation closely.
Based on the SBDR International Response plan, Baptist Global Response (BGR) will take the initial lead in assessing the situation and how Southern Baptists can best respond. BGR has Baptist partners in the area who are moving to assess the damage even now. It is unknown at this point if volunteers will be needed. If so, AL is the first state convention on call during March. TN is the first state on call during the month of May each year. However, a large volunteer response may necessitate trained personnel from multiple states being involved in the effort.
Your Tennessee Baptist Disaster Relief staff will continue to keep you informed on this situation. More detailed information, as it is available will be posted to TBC website, www.tnbaptist.org.
