welcome
Many church groups / other religious groups regardless of faith, tend to do a lot of things to help in the local community in times of need, :)

Be it helping to run food banks, arrange food hampers for the elderly , Shoe box appeal , or open the doors to their places of worship for shelter / rest centres in times of natural disasters, some go as so far as to provide practical help in terms of volunteers to man soup kitchens in city centres to feed the homeless. Whilst providing comfort to people in distress
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

I find the idea of prepping to promote the word of Jesus quite interesting. Quite a few of us on here advocate the grey man approach to look after one's immediate family first. Some of us are fortunate to be in a community where we can expand and share our preps to accommodate and support this limited community. But to actively wish and plan to prep so you can offer support and assistance to a much wider community, through the word of Jesus, is quite remarkable and I truly wish you the best.

I've never had much to do with the Salvation Army but I realise this is what they do on a daily basis and I assume would do in time of crisis.

If you were asking my advice, I'd suggest that you need to make your own preps secure, manageable and stable before becoming proactive, but I guess you've figured that out already.

I'd really like to know more about your plans because I think community is the way forward and if Jesus is the glue to bring it together, then he can only be a good thing.

hi Briggs 2.0
thats kinda the idea, i would say I'm from the baptist movement however, i attended the creation fest in cornwall this year and experience what i can only describe as a little slice of heaven on earth. I'm looking to build a group in cornwall. I do however expect people to come from different approaches to what drives them. my belief is that we are in the last hours of the last days and must be ready for what comes ahead.

Im of course looking to take care of myself and my wife, however like you said there must be a driver more then near survival, my faith gives me that.

God bless and take care.
