Our collegiate team has been hard at work this summer—training (even in the rain "if it's raining, we're training"), serving, and stepping up whenever needed.
Over the last few weeks, they’ve already been able to assist with flood recovery and chainsaw response, and they’ve done an outstanding job. We’re so thankful for this incredible group and the way they are serving with such dedication and heart.
This week, they are serving in Kansas City during the FIFA World Cup! Please continue to pray for our team—for safety, strength, and for God to use them in a powerful way as they serve others this summer.

Every Thursday, our MODR Maintenance Team is hard at work behind the scenes — inspecting, repairing, organizing, and preparing our equipment so we’re ready to deploy at a moment’s notice.
Because of their faithfulness and attention to detail, our teams can respond quickly and safely when disasters strike.
We are incredibly grateful for this group that serves week after week to help others be ready to serve. Thank you, MODR Maintenance Team!
