episode MDS Podcast Episode #7 - Frank Hoover cover

MDS Podcast Episode #7 - Frank Hoover

When interviewer Gloria Nussbaum asked Frank Hoover what he received from his decades of service with Mennonite Disaster Service, his answer was immediate: "Way more than I put in." Frank reminds us that even in the tragic aftermath of disaster, God is quietly at work — building relationships that draw us closer together and closer to Him. We cannot prevent the storms from coming, but we can build homes, bridges, and relationships that last through the most trying times. Frank Hoover of Ephrata, PA has been showing up for strangers since 1972 — from flood muckouts in Harrisburg to hurricanes in Florida to wildfire recovery in California. He's learned that every disaster is unique, and so is every survivor. Some watch your every move; others hand you the keys. One client in New York told him they "could see the love of God in every stroke of the paintbrush and every swing of the hammer" — a moment that captures what Frank has believed all along: "It is a lot easier to show people God's love than to tell them about it."

MDS Podcast Episode #5 - Don and Rachel Horst

Don and Rachel Horst of Newton, Kansas have been showing up for people in their worst moments for nearly five decades. First responding to the Big Thompson Canyon flood in Colorado in 1976, the Horsts have since served in some of the most far-reaching corners of MDS response work, from California and Puerto Rico to American Samoa and Saipan.But what makes Don and Rachel stand out is not just the miles traveled or the years logged, it is the way they show up. They listen they sit with survivors they offer compassion to people who have lost everything. In this episode, they share some of the most moving stories from a lifetime of service, including Don's own profound journey as a retired pilot and trucker who found deep meaning in giving back through MDS.We are saddened to share that Don Horst has passed away since this interview was recorded in 2023. We are grateful to have captured his voice and his story, and we are honored to share his memory with reverence.

MDS Podcast Episode #3 - Tom Smucker (Former Executive Director of MDS)

On November 18, 2024, Gloria Nussbaum sits down with Tom Smucker of Sterling, Ohio, former Executive Director of Mennonite Disaster Service, to reflect on a lifetime of responding to disaster. Tom shares how he first became involved with MDS in 1992 following Hurricane Andrew, drawing from his background in construction and farming. He recounts the early days of MDS, its history and separation from MCC, and what it feels like to witness a disaster for the first time. From the overwhelming sight and even the smells of destruction, to the challenges of arriving early in a response, Tom offers honest insight shaped by decades of leadership. The conversation also explores how MDS, and disaster response as a whole, has grown and changed over the years, and the importance of collaboration with other organizations doing meaningful work. Join us as we listen, learn, and give thanks for Tom Smucker’s faithful years of service with MDS.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
