Can you imagine suddenly today, you were never able to return home losing all possessions, livelihood, community and your church?

This is exactly what has taken place as entire villages were covered by more than 8′ of ash and then hardened. Thousands of families have been forced to relocate, trying to cope with the trauma on their own.
Recognizing this, the Guatemalan government has asked CRI to send teams to bring relief and minister to these refugees to help curb depression, hopelessness, and suicide. Will YOU Respond?

What an incredible opportunity to bring hope and help rebuild communities on the Kingdom of God!

It’s hard to believe another devastating disaster is happening so soon after Hurricane Harvey, but Hurricane Irma has struck the west coast of Florida. Making landfall in the keys and again in Naples, Florida.

As a result, CRI has mobilized volunteers and supplies as well as a new mobile kitchen to feed affected families.

Can you imagine losing your home and all of your possessions and not knowing when or how you’ll feed your family their next meal? Temperatures are sweltering; resources are few.

With the generous help of CRI partners, we can respond. Together we can make this incredibly challenging time easier by providing urgently needed relief, hot meals, and assistance to homeowners with clean-up. Also, we provide spiritual and emotional support for these amazing people who’ve lost so much.

I know we are all stretched thin, as is our nation. FEMA is spending 9 million dollars an hour right now, and the largest evacuation in U.S. history is underway, but together we can answer the call to uplift and support our fellow Americans.

Thank you for rising to the call with us and responding by volunteering and giving at this critical time.

Here are a few ways you can respond to what is becoming the worst flood event in U.S. history. TEXAS NEEDS YOUR HELP!
