BE AN EVERYDAY HERO
Each year, 1 in 20 people lose hope, the security of their livelihood, the blessing of home, and their loved ones. This means more than 350 million* people are impacted by a crisis, which is just a little more than the entire population of the United States.
Unfortunately, many communities don’t receive the help they deserve because of their lesser-known locations, how quickly the press moves on when there’s a new story to pursue, and the focused relief attention that lands on bigger cities and more profitable areas.
A crisis doesn’t just leave people devastated at the moment. It affects school systems, the futures of small businesses, and the ability for families to stay together and stay healthy. It also opens vulnerable people groups to a different crisis: trafficking. People need hope and a strategy for recovering their lives and rebuilding their futures. You can be a dynamic part of their blueprint. Get trained now and deploy with us to become a light at the end of someone’s dark tunnel.
WHAT DEPLOYMENT LOOKS LIKE
unique situations
CRí deployment operations are designed to meet the urgent needs of communities facing natural disasters and international crises. Whether responding to domestic emergencies or serving on the frontlines of international conflicts, CRí is there serving in tangible ways and meeting felt needs. Each deployment is unique because we deploy resources and people based on location, need, and prayerful guidance.
Domestic Deployments
In times of disaster within the U.S., our operations are diverse and adaptable. We mobilize teams equipped with mobile kitchens, debris removal equipment, and tool trailers to serve in a variety of ways. From tarping roofs and clearing downed trees to preparing hot meals and distributing emergency supplies, our goal is to meet the immediate needs of those affected. Additionally, our specially trained chaplains are deployed to offer emotional and spiritual care to survivors and first responders alike.
We often partner with local churches, schools, or community centers to set up a base camp to distribute meals and resources, receive truckloads of supplies, and house our volunteers. This base camp becomes a hub of activity and support, allowing volunteers from all backgrounds to plug in and serve meaningfully. Whether you see yourself operating equipment, preparing meals, or providing spiritual care, there's a place for you on a CRI domestic deployment.
International Deployments
When responding internationally, our teams are mobilized by air, bringing essential resources like water filtration systems, solar lights, food rations, and medicines—items that can be difficult to source in-country. Our international response efforts vary depending on the crisis, but may include running medical clinics, setting up refugee camps, building temporary housing, distributing critical resources, and providing chaplaincy services.
In more extreme situations, our teams may serve on the frontlines of wars, helping with extractions, rescues, and transporting refugees to safety. These deployments require resilience, adaptability, and a heart for serving in some of the most challenging environments in the world.
HOW YOU FIT IN
You can make a huge impact regardless of your background or skill-set. Imagine yourself in the field, offering food and water to families in need, operating equipment to clear roads and restore communities, or providing a comforting presence as a chaplain in times of emotional distress.
Whether you're called to hands-on work, logistics, or spiritual care, your involvement in a CRI deployment will be life-changing, both for those you serve and for you.
All you have to do is take our CRI Responder Training and then apply to deploy.
Join us in bringing hope and healing to those in the midst of crisis.
