DISASTER RESPONSE

Illinois/Wisconsin District sent a team to the Brethren disaster response project in Waverly, Tenn., Nov. 27-Dec. 3, doing construction work in an area that was hard-hit by storms and flooding. Thank you to district disaster response coordinator Loren Habegger and others on the team there for their work!

Brethren Disaster Ministries recently announced that a new project would open in January in Dawson Springs, Kentucky—where a tornado hit in December 2021—as the Tennessee project closes. A short-term project was held in Dawson Springs in October to begin the work, and the new project there is expected to continue through 2023, with a goal of building 20 homes.
