The pastor at Yarrow United Mennonite Church in B.C., Canada, implemented all his peacebuilding training to coordinate disaster response.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the last several decades, the poorest parts of the global church have been impacted by climate change directly, her students learn. \u201cNow, climate change is coming to our front door in North America. Our money and resources are clearly not enough to protect us from disaster,\u201d Darnell Barkman says.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But when the storm affected his neighbours, Darnell Barkman\u2019s training in peacebuilding planning and conflict assessment equipped him to coordinate an inter-church community response.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Disaster response follows similar steps to armed conflict, Darnell Barkman explains. First, you need a ceasefire, then you do an assessment, clean up the mess, and rebuild.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In November 2021, the region surrounding Yarrow was covered by floodwaters from excess rainfall. Then, the dike breached, cutting off the town from transportation routes in and out.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For a time, the Yarrow churches were disaster response centres. The pastors had connections to people and the churches had space. Partners like Mennonite Central Committee and Mennonite Disaster Services had expertise to share.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In times like these, the church can have a role like no one else, says Darnell Barkman. \u201cWe exist in the midst of diversity and differences. We\u2019re together because of God\u2019s love and we\u2019re open to serve because it\u2019s part of who we are.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDifferent gifts within the congregation came into play,\u201d says Josh Kraubner, Connections pastor at Yarrow Mennonite Brethren (MB) Church. Some cook, some do heavy labour, some make phone calls, some have tools and equipment, some have organizational ability to see the bigger picture.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Darnell Barkman\u2019s guiding principle in the midst of the crisis was \u201cminimum viable structure.\u201d When people needed sandbags, the Mennonite church lot was a place to fill them. Later, when people needed a place to dump ruined goods in the clean up efforts, the MB church parking lot became a transfer station. With a plywood sign marked \u201cdump here\u201d and a bit of supervision, the community saved dozens of trips to a far away landfill.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>City officials trusted the team of pastors to do the necessary organizing in the community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is so good!\u201d Josh Kraubner recalls thinking as he walked past the MB church kitchen full of people serving shoulder to shoulder: ladies from the Mennonite church, the Reformed church, the Alliance church and volunteers from host congregation. \u201cWe can put aside our little differences so we can serve our neighbours.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At one point, the ad hoc inter-church collaborative response was so inundated with volunteers, they had to turn people away \u2013 or direct them to assist the other organizers who were not connected into the church networks.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After the flood, some community members see the church differently.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen church is engaged with other non-church organizations in community development, the community has the opportunity to see a group of neighbours working to make the community a better place with church as participant in it,\u201d says Darnell Barkman. \u201cThis removed some of power dynamics\u2026 We were shoulder to shoulder with everyone else.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we maintain [relationships built during the flood response], we\u2019re going to see where God is creating opportunities \u2013 that are not based around emergency \u2013 for the church to work alongside the city for the blessing of the region,\u201d says Darnell Barkman.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It has shown Josh Kraubner a taste of what disaster looks like behind the news stories. \u201cIt made it very real,\u201d he says. Now when he hears about a disaster in another part of the world, he think, \u201cI know a little bit about what\u2019s that\u2019s like&#8230; This is traumatic and hard.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another long-term impact of the flooding has been the reinvigoration of the ministerial group. Pastors from different denominations meet regularly again.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More than a year after the waters receded, for some, recovery appears to be over. But alongside the lingering trauma of the moment, the relationship stresses and financial stresses remain. For others, the rebuilding is nowhere near complete.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After Mennonite World Conference sent out a prayer call (see \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/stories\/pastoral-letter-anabaptist-mennonites-british-columbia\">A pastoral letter for Anabaptist-Mennonites in British Columbia<\/a>\u201d), Darnell Barkman received encouragement from around the world. He was amazed that \u201cwith children working in mines and generations of armed conflict, here\u2019s a pastor from DR Congo sending me a prayer through Google Translate saying \u2018we\u2019re praying for you\u2019!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It struck him as an image out of John\u2019s Revelation. \u201cWe are living in a time when MWC can call a global prayer meeting and we have tribes and tongues of every nation (Revelation 7:9) on the screen,\u201d Darnell Barkman said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And was an example of the need to shift perception of power in the global church. \u201cThere\u2019s a perception of us having the money, and we send to help. But, spiritually we don\u2019t have all the resources. We control those things that we can control\u2026 but there is so much more power and spiritual authority in global church that we need to learn to receive better.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/online-prayer-hour-registration\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/oph.jpg\" width=\"810\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 810px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 810\/300;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:300px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/pastoral-letter-anabaptist-mennonites-british-columbia\">A pastoral letter for Anabaptist-Mennonites in British Columbia<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/bc-flood\">Prayer<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cYour textbook worked!\u201d Darnell Barkman told his former professor Lisa Schirch after floodwaters overcame his region in November 2021.
