From time to time, there are situations where there is a lost
child or other missing person and the weather and time of year
create a high sense of urgency to find the individual. The area
is usual rural or suburban. This is when it is important for
trained individuals and teams can be ready to offer their
services to the community. In many rural communities,
without these types of resource the need is even greater.
This is a great way for the church to serve the community.
