BEFORE THE STORM, BE CALM.

A few minutes of preparation today can make all the difference tomorrow.
Stay informed. Prepare your emergency kit. Charge your devices. Keep your loved ones safe.

Let's continue to pray for God's protection over every family, every community, and every responder as the typhoon approaches.

Be Prepared. Stay Safe. Save Lives.
Share to care.

God bless you always, and thank you for being a blessing to many.

This National Disaster Resilience Month, the Disaster and Emergency Response Group proudly stands with the nation in promoting disaster preparedness, resilience, and community readiness.

As volunteers called to serve, we remain committed to equipping responders, strengthening communities, and being ready to respond whenever disaster strikes. More than saving lives and protecting properties, we strive to share the hope of Christ by serving others with compassion and excellence.
Together, let us build a culture of preparedness—because resilience begins with each one of us.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid... for the Lord your God goes with you." — Deuteronomy 31:6
Prepared to Serve. Ready to Respond. Committed to Christ.

A huge thank you to Bespren Mat Teo of READY International !
We're truly grateful for your heart to serve and for taking the time to equip our DERG volunteers during the Responders Qualification Training held last June 20, 26, and 27.
Thank you for sharing not only your knowledge and experience but also your passion for helping others and serving with excellence.
We praise God for your life and ministry. May He continue to bless you, strengthen you, and use you to equip more responders for His glory.

God bless you, Matt! We're looking forward to serving alongside you again.

🙏 DERG Responder Qualification Training | Devotion, Fellowship & Camaraderie

Growing Together in Faith and Service

At DERG, training goes beyond developing rescue skills—it is also about building strong relationships and growing together in Christ. Through devotion, fellowship, and camaraderie, participants were encouraged to strengthen their faith, support one another, and embrace the spirit of servant leadership.

As Christian Responders, we believe that a united team, grounded in God's love, is better equipped to serve communities with compassion, integrity, and excellence in times of need.

"How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!" — Psalm 133:1

From God. For God. Through God.

🚑 DERG Responder Qualification Training | Rescue Simulation

Facilitated by: READY International

Putting Training into Action

The Rescue Simulation gave participants the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they learned in realistic emergency scenarios. Through teamwork, communication, and critical decision-making, they experienced the importance of staying calm, working together, and responding effectively under pressure.

As Christian Responders, we train not only to become capable rescuers but also to be instruments of God's love and compassion. Every simulation prepares us to serve with courage, excellence, and a heart willing to help those in need.

"Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." — Romans 12:10

From God. For God. Through God.
