Support Churchwide Ministries

Disaster Response
Disasters are tragic events that disrupt the normal routine of life, causing loss and human suffering. During a disaster such as an earthquake, major flood, tornado, civil war, or famine, the overwhelming concern is for the safety and preservation of life. After a disaster, the relief process begins.  Designate your support for domestic or international disasters.  [more]
