Chaplains help homeowners as wildfire cleanup begins
SAN DIEGO (BP)--As Southern Baptist disaster relief crews begin to clean up the charred remains of homes destroyed by wildfires, chaplains will be on site to help Southern California residents process the emotions that accompany loss. About 500 workers, including Southern Baptists and volunteers from Samaritan's Purse and local churches, were scheduled to clean up the La Jolla Indian Reservation, which was badly burned in San Diego County, on Nov. 3, Don Hargis, disaster relief coordinator for the California Southern Baptist Convention, told Baptist Press.
