Disaster Relief
Crossroads Community Church has over 100 people trained to respond to a disaster.Many of our people are trained in multiple areas to provide greatest flexibility in time of need.Among the areas Crossroads people are trained in include:
Feeding - Preparing and serving hot meals to those on the front lines.Specific training is provided in maintenance, warehouse, sanitation, cooking and line serving.
Damage Assessment - Team members evaluate damage and inform follow-up teams on scope of each job, including equipment that will be needed.
Chain-Saw - Teams remove damaged trees and other debris.Experience in operating a chain saw is desirable, but not mandatory.Teams need people to assist operators.
Mud-Out Removal – Teams perform the difficult task of removing mud and other debris from flooded homes.
Showers and Laundry - This team gives aid to relief workers and others in need by providing showers and laundry support.Trailers have private shower stalls, washers and dryers.
Child Care - Teams provide a calm, loving environment for children providing parents the opportunity to salvage belongings, meet with helping agencies and insurance representatives.
Medical Reserve Corps – Provides medical support for disaster victims and relief team members.
The first step in preparing for disaster is to prepare your own home.If you are well prepared for disaster to strike, you will be better able to weather the storm and minister to others.For the Lowcountry, hurricanes and earthquakes are the most likely disasters we’ll face.A variety of guides to preparation are available at the links below:

Once you and your family are prepared, consider joining our team.The Crossroads Community Church disaster relief effort is Christian love in action, meeting urgent needs of hurting humanity in crisis situations in a timely response.To become a part of the team you’ll need to be trained in the specific area(s) you’re willing to work.Training is typically conducted twice a year by experienced volunteers at South Carolina Baptist Convention’s White Oak Conference Center.

Royal Family Kids' Camp
|
July 8th-12th, 2013 Foster children have it rough.
Imagine being only nine years old, having lived in ten different homes, with all your possessions fitting into a carry-on luggage bag. It’s not uncommon. These precious children need desperately to know the love of Christ, to feel valued and accepted, to feel special. That’s the mission of Summerville Royal Family Kids’ Camp. Going into our third year, we hope to share the love of Christ with 36 special 7-11 year-old children. We’ll build on the experience of our first two years to make this camp even better. Our campers feel the love and make memories as they swim, fish, tie-dye shirts and build birdhouses. Each day, they learn new songs and are entertained with Biblically-based drama that draws them in and teaches them life lessons. They learn to trust and build teamwork and they learn to encourage each other. That’s a lot for children that often come to us filled with anger and bitterness. They simply can’t resist the love of Jesus and our volunteers love to share it. One of the highlights of camp is everyone’s birthday party. We make it special with piñatas, water slide jump castles, presents, and a birthday cake for each month. Many of them blow out birthday candles for the first time in their lives. Thursday night’s talent show is entertaining beyond imagination with creativity that must be seen to be believed. Pray for our camp this year. Pray for the kids who will attend. Pray our volunteers get the time off work and especially to have their hearts ready for this demanding week. Pray for our funding and resources. And pray that July 9th-13th will be a little bit cooler this year. It’s a demanding week for our volunteers but it’s also incredibly rewarding.
