Bringing Help and Hope to Those Who are Hurting. This is the opening statement that greats you when you open the website for Masters of Disaster. When Darin Kroger swapped IT work for chainsaws, power generators, and volunteers, he knew he was swapping comfort for chaos.

Today's show reflects what happens when you begin to surrender your heart and talents to the nudging of the Holy Spirit. Darin had what most of us would think of as a "good life". By his own admission, it was a good life. But, he continued to recognize an itch that wasn't being scratched. An itch for something more. Something that he really had no clue of what it looked like, other than it kept begging his attention. This itch was in the arena of disaster relief.

Darin always enjoyed following weather, and in particular, stormy weather. The kind of weather that can change a person's life in a matter of hours or even seconds. Tornados, floods, fires, and hurricanes are among the more common disrupting storms. We get to watch them on our tv, but then we set back in our recliner and relieve our guilt by saying a prayer. Not to diminesh the importance of prayer, but GOD WANTS MORE! He wants our hearts to be filled with compassion to serve the needs of others and then our hands to carry it out.

Darin along with his volunteers began to operate the non-profit, Masters of Disaster several years ago and now it is a full time disaster relief resource. Darin desires to serve those that are in what is likely going to be one of their greatest times of need. The storm his and life as we know it is destroyed. Survival resources and actions are first on the list, then comforts and even wants can begin to fill in the void. Darin watches groups of volunteers spring into action to restore the essentials and as a resort, restore hope in broken people.
