Bahamas Methodist Habitat (BMH) the disaster outreach ministry of the Bahamas Conference of the Methodist Church dedicated to disaster relief and home repair in The Bahamas is in Andros helping to clean up and rebuild in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew.

John Shughart, BMH executive director, said they have partnered with their United States sister organization, Bahamas Habitat, and the One Eleuthera Foundation in their effort.

BMH's vision is to respond to disaster in The Bahamas and the Caribbean as servants to their brothers and sister in need. The group mobilizes to address needs such as debris removal and emergency home repair in the immediate aftermath of disaster.

Founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, BMH has since served as a catalyst for disaster relief throughout the country, including Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands.

When not responding to disaster, BMH organizes and facilitates short-term missions for about 500 volunteers annually, who serve on projects that address sub-standard housing and promote community.

BMH members are called to share and receive Christ's love by connecting the resources and needs of the global community.

Their vision is to respond to disaster in The Bahamas and the Caribbean as servants to their brothers and sister in need. And they seek to facilitate short-term international mission trips that inspire hearts for a life of service.

BMH operates year round with support from volunteers and donors. For ways you can assist, contact Shughart at 359-7518 or visit their website methodisthabitat.org.

Check donations can be made to "Bahamas Methodist Habitat" to RBC acct #00499-1210004.
