Top Ten Reasons to work with Brethren Disaster Ministries

10. We get to wear cool red caps. 

9. We get to play with fun power tools. 

8. We get free food and sometimes pretty good beds. 

7. We get to work closely with some fine people from throughout the denomination. 

6. It keeps retired folks busy and off the streets. 

5. My parents’ farm was wiped out by a tornado in 1965, and I understand the value of a helping hand from friends and neighbors. 

4. The Church of the Brethren teaches us to be Good Samaritans to those in need. 

3. My Pastor says we should try to be like Jesus, and he was a carpenter. 

2. Life has been good to me and giving back feels good. 

1. I encourage you to volunteer so you provide your own reason why this is a good thing for our denomination, our local congregations, and for you personally.
