Our Search & Rescue teams are composed of highly trained and dedicated individuals that volunteer their time and expertise to assist local emergency services in finding the lost and missing. Since 2016, they have been working to reunite the missing with their loved ones.
Currently, our teams are located in Ohio, Arkansas, Illinois, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Virginia, Michigan/Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. Team members are from Amish, Mennonite, and other conservative Anabaptist communities and have a commitment to hard work and attention to detail. Teams are equipped to be self-sustained, not placing undue burdens on the community dealing with the emergency.
Each team has a command trailer equipped with computers, mapping software, GPS units, a communications system (handheld radios and repeater), and more. We also have rescue boats with high-quality SONAR for water searches and rescues. When Hurricane Harvey struck Texas, our rescue boats were kept busy rescuing 429 people from floodwaters.

Each day many people go missing and create search and rescue incidents across the U.S. Our ten trained Search & Rescue teams are ready to respond quickly to help local authorities search for lost and missing persons. As our teams search for loved ones, opportunities arise for them to interact with distraught family members. Many people are open to hearing about God during these times and are eager for hope and a listening ear. Our goal for this program is to show God’s love and provide support for those in distress.
Your gift supports teams to help locate lost or missing persons and encourage anxious loved ones.

I have been doing this for 10 years, and I have never seen an operation as organized as this.
As the Incident Commander I wanted to pass on my personal thanks to the entire team. Your professionalism, dedication and spirit were clear to everyone. Your work was excellent…Thank you all again for your support.
On Saturday, March 25, the Arkansas Search & Rescue team responded to a call to rescue a male who had fallen while hiking. The call came around 2:30 p.m. The man, in his fifties, had been hiking to a falls on the Mulberry River with his wife. He fell over 20 feet and couldn’t walk. Our team responded immediately. They found the man and started the long, hard trek to carry him out. The team had a difficult hike through the woods along steep terrain and without a trail to follow. Finally, at 7:30 pm, they arrived at a waiting ambulance. The man had suffered a number of injuries from his fall and was airlifted. Eleven of our SAR team members and several EMS personnel were involved in the response. His wife later emailed, “God was definitely with us Saturday. We are so thankful for all of you. Without y’all we would have never gotten out of there.”
