The MDS currently involves more than 3,000 members of the Mennonite, Amish and Brethren in Christ churches (BIC).[4][5][6] The primary focus of the service is cleanup, repair, and the rebuilding of homes.[7] The work of the group supplements the disaster relief provided by the Red Cross.[8][9] The Mennonite Disaster Service also works closely with Mennonite Central Committee.{{Ref label|reference4|4}} A quarterly newsletter called Behind the Hammer is published.[10] The volunteer amateur radio group Mennonet provides communication services for MDS.[11][12] Radio equipment was first deployed by MDS in 1960.{{Ref label|reference4|4}} References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://charityreports.bbb.org/public/report.aspx?charityid=2043|title=Charity Report - Mennonite Disaster Service - give.org|website=charityreports.bbb.org|accessdate=4 July 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://mds.mennonite.net/about_us/staff/ |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2009-05-29 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20080509135725/http://mds.mennonite.net/about_us/staff/ |archivedate=2008-05-09 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mds.mennonite.net/|title=Home - Mennonite Disaster Service|website=Mennonite Disaster Service|accessdate=4 July 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://mds.mennonite.net/about_us/history/ |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2009-05-23 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20080509185153/http://mds.mennonite.net/about_us/history/ |archivedate=2008-05-09 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite book|last = Kraybill| first = Donald| title = The Riddle of Amish Culture | publisher = The Johns Hopkins University Press| year = 2001| isbn =0-8018-6772-X | pages =157–158}} 6. ^{{cite book|last = Wittlinger| first = Carlton| title = Quest for Piety and Obedience: The Story of the Brethren in Christ| publisher = Evangel Press| year = 1978| isbn =0-916035-05-0|page=529}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.kyham.net/downloads/library/training/mennonite.pdf |title=Mennonite Disaster Service |format=PDF |date= |accessdate=2018-07-04}} 8. ^ {{dead link|date=July 2018}} 9. ^https://www.crossnet.org/services/disaster/0,1082,0_300_,00.html 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://mds.mennonite.net/news/newsletter |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2009-05-27 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120711201659/http://mds.mennonite.net/news/newsletter |archivedate=2012-07-11 |df= }} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hesston.edu/newsport/archives/fall2007/070920ham.htm|title=News Releases Archives - Hesston College|website=Hesston College|accessdate=4 July 2018}} 12. ^{{cite book|last = Detweiler| first = Lowell| title = The Hammer Rings Hope: Photos and Stories from Fifty Years of Mennonite Disaster Service | publisher = Herald Press| year = 2000| isbn =0-8361-9110-2| page =63}} Further reading
