Staff of Brethren Disaster Ministries and Children’s Disaster Services (CDS) are monitoring the situation at the southern border of the United States as numbers of migrants increase, in particular the conditions for families with children and unaccompanied minors.
CDS staff have been in conversation with partners about sites where volunteer childcare teams may be able to provide support for migrant children, either at the southern border or at other sites around the US where migrant children are being sent.
Brethren Disaster Ministries has been participating in meetings of Church World Service (CWS) with other faith-based humanitarian organizations to assess the possibilities of involvement with relief efforts at the border.

n Feb. 4, Brethren Disaster Ministries celebrated the completion of two homes at the Coastal North Carolina rebuilding project with a Facebook post: “Alberta, it sure was a pleasure serving you! What a joy you are! And Mr. Jessie, you were so appreciative of our work. It was our privilege to serve you as well. We are grateful for everyone who in any way contributed to the rebuilding of these two homes. Alberta and Jessie–we give thanks to God for His provision and care and pray that you may enjoy safety, peace, and joy for many years!” The program has a long tradition of gifting quilts on completion of volunteer work on a home.
