Be A LERT,
I haven’t written for a while. That does not mean LERT has been idle. Over the past months we have led LERT trainings and chainsaw trainings. Having the privilege to be a chainsaw trainer, I had the opportunity to lead a training for the North Dakota District in May. The District relief trailer is being readied for use and should be available in August. And a note to add, the District grapple is available for use, just call me (763-370-3441) to pick it up.
It seems time goes way too fast, but just to let everyone know our LERT teams have not been idle, so far this year we have led two LERT basic trainings, and a chainsaw training. We also have deployed to North Carolina in March, worked at LIC both and LERT trained and chainsaw teams in May, chainsaw and team in Zimmerman, and chainsaw and LERT trained in Detroit Lakes after the tornado July 6. Note: The included pictures are of both LIC and DL work.
We don’t always think about the benefits of LERT and how important to have teams of both LERT trained and chainsaw trained until a need arises in our neighborhood. This is the case right now in Detroit Lakes, as was last summer in northern MN when Itasca Park and Bemidji were hit with major damaging storms. As you read about these accounts, I pray that you both desire to be those hands that cling to the cross and reach out to others with help. Indeed this is your invitation to contact me or pastor John Beck and we will happily set up a training for either basic LERT or chainsaw.
May our Lord bless your caring ministry to others, in His name,
Pastor Gary Rehborg, DDRC, MNN
