Video - Ministry of Presence, and brochure

Created for mission teams to disaster areas, the Ministry of Presence video introduces the importance of being fully present to survivors with compassionate listening. As a volunteer, the most important gift you give to survivors is your presence.  You bring hope, connection, and love.

Print a " for your team, with suggestions for informal emotional and spiritual care with survivors; includes do's and don'ts, information about common reactions to disasters, and tips for appropriate ways to help.

Read "His Eyes," a reflection from a volunteer who listened to one homeowner's story.
