Disaster Relief unit assists as rescuers find ailing woman

WAYNE COUNTY – Missouri Baptist’s Southeast Feeding Unit is used to providing disaster relief in the wake of hurricanes, tornados and other large-scale disasters, but they were recently called into service to aid in the two-day search for one elderly woman.

The woman, stricken with Alzheimer’s disease, went missing June 3 said John Rhodes, Southeast Regional disaster relief coordinator. As the search party grew to nearly 200 people, the Cape Girardeau-based feeding unit along with Wayne County Baptist Association and the Red Cross began serving hot meals as rescuers searched 24-hours a day.

Miraculously, rescuers found the woman alive June 6 not far from the feeding site or her home. She had some injuries and was flown to a local hospital. Her condition has not been released.

When you give to your church, you provide foster homes for children, rescue women from human trafficking, support survivors of disasters, start new churches, advance Christian education, offer compassionate care to the elderly, keep roughly 9,000 full-time missionaries on the field, train the next generation of Southern Baptist leaders … and that’s just for starters.
