Immediate Response
How we Serve
Natural disasters have seemingly increased across the country and around the world. Daily reports of impending severe weather have become a normal occurrence. There is a need – now more than ever – for God’s people to not only respond, but to be equipped and trained in the logistics associated with disaster response.

Hope in Action
At the heart of our Immediate Response efforts is faith. Alongside urgent, hands-on relief in the wake of disaster, we share encouragement and hope because meeting physical needs is vital, and so is strengthening the spirit in life’s most difficult moments.
The fact that volunteers came out to help us clean out our flood ravaged house was the biggest blessing we could ever ask for. It would have taken us months to do this ourselves. This has taken a huge weight off our shoulders.”
