Us Disaster Relief Southern Baptist disaster relief is Christian love in action, meeting urgent needs of hurting humanity in crisis situations. We believe that Southern Baptists are under Scriptural and moral obligation to all mankind to provide a positive witness of the love of Jesus Christ. He calls for Christians to demonstrate love in the relief of victims of disasters through the efficient and immediate use of the resources, time, and talents entrusted to us by our Lord.
Disasters affect many people.
Christians naturally respond to the hurts of those around them and feel an obligation to minister in the name of Jesus Christ. Christians working together can accomplish much for the glory of God. Each person may have an understanding of his or her objectives without an overall vision for the need of everyone. A coordinated, cooperative team effort can harness the desires and energy of individuals into a productive, effective, and efficient force for Christ. The disaster response team can provide direction for the potential energy of individual Christians and churches desiring to be of service in times of disaster.
