Being prepared is a recurring theme in the Word of God. We as Christians should be living a life of readiness, prepared for any situation and able to share with our families, our neighbors, and all who are in need in the event of an emergency or crisis situation. That is the purpose of Aglow Mid-Atlantic Emergency Preparedness: to be informed, to be trained, to be ready.

God has opened a door to enable us to minister to those in need
in this season of unrest in the world.
We need not be fearful, for we know that God is in control.
We do need to be prepared and equipped.
