HFI Reservists — come and join us in the field or in the classroom!

As Hope Force International [HFI] currently serves those who have been devastated by floodwaters in Louisiana, we are reminded once again that it is YOU  the HFI Reservist  who makes our deployments possible. 

We are making a final appeal for help in the post-flood recovery phase in Louisiana for anytime between now and September 18.  The unmet need is substantial and our ability to respond is limited by available        manpower.  Come join us  and bring trusted friends!  Email HERE to join.

 

We are excited about the upcoming season of back-to-back HFI Reservist trainings held across North America!

We look forward to welcoming our new HFI Reservists into our Hope Force family in the next few months, and we would also want to invite you to join us for a refresher course! Over the last two years, we've added some new teaching to our training curriculum and we think that you will be challenged and inspired by what Dr. Kevin Ellers has to share. 

Topics covered: 

  • Identity in Christ for the disaster responder - Dan Sneed
  • Foundations of emotional & spiritual care (ESC) - Dr. Kevin Ellers (Disaster Services Coordinator, Central Territory, The Salvation Army, USA)
  • Maintaining healthy & cohesive relationships in ministry - Dean Sherman
  • Core principles for effective ministry - Dave Buehring
  • How to be an appropriate caregiver - HFI Staff
  • What to expect when responding - HFI Staff
  • Disaster Response Principles - HFI Staff

Our upcoming training schedule:

  • September 22-24, 2016 - Franklin, TN
  • October 27-29, 2016  - Pachuca, Mexico
  • November 10-12, 2016  -  Tupelo, MS
  • February 9-11, 2017  -  Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

As always, existing HFI Reservists are invited to attend the training events free of charge, but we do need to know if you are coming. (A suggested $10 /day donation to cover meals is requested.)  Please RSVP with HFI Training Coordinator, Sue Duby, by email or call the office: 615.371.1271

Also, would you please consider inviting friends who you think might want to become a HFI Reservist? Simply forward this email on to them, and they can CLICK HERE for a training overview and registration.

We are truly grateful for each one of you  and we hope to see you soon!
