Disaster Relief Training

FDR Trainers, Jay and Patty Donnelly will be teaching this in-person Disaster Relief Training. The goal is to equip leaders to respond and make a difference in disasters and crises. The Disaster Relief Training is a 16-hour course. The training is vital for anyone interested in assisting in a local, regional, or large-scale disaster, including serving with FEMA, State, County, and local disaster response teams. Training is mandatory for anyone wanting to help with Foursquare Disaster Relief teams at any level.

You will be instructed how to continue CISM, FEMA and other specialized disaster relief training. FDR Disaster Relief Training will provide a Certificate of completion for the 16 hours of FDR training. To be certified as an FDR responder, students must complete an online form after class verifying pastoral endorsement, a background check on file with their church, and an agreement with the standards in the Foursquare Child + Youth Protection Manual. This training and certification only apply to deployment through Foursquare Disaster Relief. We encourage each church to develop a local team and network with local First Responders so they can be available to work with their community emergency services when disaster strikes.

This Disaster Relief Training is broken up into two consecutive days.

Cost: $65 per participant
The training class fee includes all registration materials, snacks, coffee and lunch on both days.

FDR Medical Jamaica 2024 Outreach

Pastor Gareth Phillips, the Foursquare National Leader of Jamaica, has kindly requested FDR Medical to join his ministry team in serving rural Jamaican parishes. These communities encounter numerous challenges in accessing healthcare. FDR Medical is currently planning a trip to Jamaica in July 2024, and we would love to invite all medical volunteers to participate.

The trip will last for one week, with an arrival date in Jamaica on July 13th, 2024. The estimated cost will be approximately $800 to $1000.

We strongly encourage FDR medical volunteers to participate in these scheduled international outreaches with FDR Medical. These trips encompass various aspects:

  • Collaborating with the local International Foursquare Church to provide support, encouragement, build relationships, and extend outreach to their communities.
  • Offering both medical and spiritual assistance to the communities.
  • Equipping our volunteers for future disaster deployments through specialized training.

REGISTRATION IS NOW FULL, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BECOME A VOLUNTEER WITH FDR MEDICAL FOR FUTURE TRIPS + RESPONSES, PLEASE APPLY HERE.
