MNA DISASTER RESPONSE
Providing support, disaster preparedness training, and spiritual encouragement to PCA churches in disaster-affected communities.
Our Purpose
Mission to North America (MNA) is charged by the General Assembly with coordinating the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) disaster response in the US and Canada. This vital mission is accomplished through disaster preparedness awareness & training in advance of disaster events and by providing support in response to disaster events. Preparedness training is conducted regularly through local and PCA-wide events.
MNA Disaster Response provides support to PCA churches in disaster-affected communities through a network of staff and volunteer damage assessment teams, first response teams, site managers, and key leaders. MNA recruits and mobilizes volunteers, receives and distributes supplies and equipment, brings awareness of specific needs, channels recovery funds, focuses prayer and provides spiritual encouragement to our PCA family and their communities.
Sheds of Hope
Sheds of Hope are storage sheds constructed on the property of catastrophically affected disaster victims. Since the beginning of the Sheds of Hope project, MNA Disaster Response has furnishedthousands of sheds to disaster victims. These sheds provide a means to store and secure salvaged personal belongings as well as supplies and materials needed for repair and recovery. One great outcome of this ministry is the relationship volunteers build with the recipient families as they spend time with them during the build.
Warehouse Volunteer Events & Trainings
MNA Disaster Response owns and operates a disaster response warehouse and training center in Rome GA. The Charles H. Jones Family Disaster Response Center provides excellent opportunities to get involved in disaster response through volunteer and training opportunities at the center, donating funds and/or supplies, and praying for the ministry.
