My heart goes out to all our friends and colleagues who have been impacted by this devastating storm. Please know that we are praying for you that you will find comfort and strength in this challenging time. We also are praying for the church that it will rise as a beacon of hope to shine brightly for&nbsp;Christ.<\/p>\r\n\r\n                                                        <p>Sometimes, it's in the most difficult circumstances that God begins to write something beautiful. We need to be attentive for the divine moments given to us. I once heard a reflection on the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 that suggested the Samaritan chose to see his encounter with the man lying on the side of the road as an opportunity rather than an&nbsp;obstacle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n                                                        <p>As DART members, you know what it's like to step into difficult situations and offer help to those in need. Our work often places us alongside individuals experiencing unimaginable pain, but it is in these moments that we have the opportunity to demonstrate God's love and&nbsp;compassion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It is the strongest storm to hit Vietnam in three decades and resulted in 291 deaths and over 1,900 injures. The Vietnamese government expressed an urgent need for food and various non-food items. The Samaritan's Purse country office there is responding in several provinces by distributing jerry buckets, water filters, solar lights, kitchen sets, blankets, food bags, hygiene kits, and more. Four international DART staff members have deployed to support the country office as they serve those impacted by the storm. As they continue to journey to the far reaches of Vietnam to distribute more aid, please pray for the safety of our staff, partners, and local residents. Pray also that the supplies will reach the hands of those who need it&nbsp;most.<\/p>\r\n\r\n                                                        <figure class=\"video-container no-mask\">\r\n                                                            \r\n                <div class=\"video3\" id=\"video3\" style=\"position: relative; display: block;\">\r\n                    <div style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\r\n                        <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/players.sardius.media\/82aD088d0aAbEF4\/dotorg\/asset\/0517353330599b43Bf7437224c69\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;border:0;\"><\/iframe>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <noscript>\r\n                        <div>Please enable Javascript to watch this video<\/div>\r\n                <\/noscript>\r\n                                                        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n                                                        <!-- <figure aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"no-mask\">\r\n                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/emails\/email_assets\/Placeholder.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\r\n                                                        <\/figure> -->\r\n\r\n                                                        <header id=\"czech\" style=\"padding-bottom: 0;\">\r\n                                                            <hr class=\"light-bar\">\r\n                                                            <h2>Czech Republic Response<\/h2>\r\n                                                        <\/header>\r\n    \r\n                                                           <p>Central Europe received a year's worth of rain in just a couple of days in mid-September. Communities in the river valleys were heavily damaged, and roads, bridges, and rail access were cut off due to flash flooding. Samaritan's Purse sent a small international team to the Czech Republic\u2014two each from the U.S., Germany, and the U.K.\u2014to assist local churches as they mobilized their response. The team was able to provide churches with supplies needed to clean and dry homes, and they joined in the labor effort so pastors could build relationships with homeowners. Samaritan's Purse Germany is now coordinating trauma-healing training in the impacted communities where the team served. Please pray that God will continue working to open the hearts and minds of people throughout the flood zone, while also encouraging Christians to be faithful witnesses of their hope in Jesus. Pray for the pastors who are exhausted from their efforts but still encouraged to see people they have tried to reach for years now open to&nbsp;conversations.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n                                                        <header id=\"trainings\" style=\"padding-bottom: 0;\">\r\n                                                            <hr class=\"light-bar\">\r\n                                                            <h2>Upcoming Trainings<\/h2>\r\n                                                        <\/header>\r\n    \r\n                                                           <ul>\r\n                                                                <li><strong>Food Program Manager:<\/strong> Nov. 18&ndash;21, 2024, North Wilkesboro, North Carolina<\/li>\r\n                                                                <li><strong>Shelter Training:<\/strong> Nov. 19&ndash;22, 2024, North Wilkesboro, North Carolina<\/li>\r\n                                                           <\/ul>\r\n    \r\n                                                           <p>If you were hired for one of these roles or have the preferred skills\/experience listed, express interest in attending&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/2024DARTspecialtytraininginterest\">aqu\u00ed<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n    \r\n                                                        \r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                <\/section>\r\n\r\n                                            <\/article>\r\n                                        <\/main>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DART Newsletter October 2024 Greetings DART Members, I am writing this letter in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene that swept across the southeastern U.S. beginning on Thursday, Sept. 26.
