Hands on in repairing damage
Pastor to DR Projects:
Pastor,
Your COGO Disaster Relief Team wants to enable you to lead some of your people in a hands-on experience following a natural disaster. To encourage pastoral participation, we wish to inform you that funds are available to assist with some of your personal travel costs to and from the worksite.
Pastors or pastor couples are encouraged to tap into the heart of this portion of your congregation by signing up and helping bring a small group of volunteers together either to help meet a need sponsored by COGO Ministries or with a like-minded group of volunteers with another faith-based ministry who are serving an area hit by a natural disaster.
DOnate.
Your disaster relief response is vital to provide families with the care and services they need. Experience has taught us to have $25,000 on-hand for a relief mission. This enables us to serve until we can receive additional funding from congregations across Ohio.
Here’s how your support can help families recover from a disaster:
$10,000 — Helps a family get back into their home
$5,000 — One roof replacement
$1,000 — Emergency enclosure of one house
$500 — Replacement of 2 or 3 windows
$250 — One pre-hung exterior door
$125 — Paint for 2 or 3 rooms
$50 — Emergency tarps
Will you prayerfully consider contributing? Every donation counts!
Better Together. Better with Prayer.
Because of the power of prayer, we ask that you join with us in prayer for the volunteers, the families and their communities affected by natural disasters. May the Lord keep them safe and give us the support we need to fulfill our mission.
