Crisis Response Team Preparations
The EFCA Midwest District and EFCA TouchGlobal Crisis Response Ministry are working in partnership to provide tornado recovery to the body of Christ, and related outreach and evangelism to the Greensburg, KS community.

We are also recruiting for the following professional skills. Please let us know if your team will have one or more individuals with the following professional skills:
- carpenter
- cook
