Pardon our Dust, and standby for the new NWBDR website, coming Fall 2026!

The northwestdr.com website was started in 2012 by a volunteer hoping to provide a one-stop shop for information for volunteers, potential volunteers and supporters. This will be a major re-work to modernize the site, make it easier to navigate, and more effective for recruiting volunteers and other supporters.

Keep watching we will announce the update very soon! Sneak preview now available here: https://northwestdr-wp.w4sh.net/

The NWBDR management team in Spokane has made the decision to Stand Down from the Spokane Complex Fire response.

30 personal property recovery jobs were completed. The Inland Empire Baptist Association churches will be following up with the homeowners regarding any follow-up work.

As follow-up opportunities are identified NWBDR teams and resources will be called upon to support the ministries.

Please continue to pray for the churches, communities, families, and people affected by the wildfires.

Incident Management Teams (IMTs) work hard behind the scenes to keep everything organized. Many thanks to California and Arizona for sending their IMT volunteers to fill in where ours were unavailable. Many other states have offered assistance - their turn (and yours) may come soon!

Great day helping people find what really matters and helping with my first chaplain assignment. Got to pray with people and giving them their first bible after the fire which they needed.
