We all are faced with the possibility of disaster. According to statistics, a disaster strikes the United States about every 10 minutes. National disaster programs respond to about 60,000 disasters a year. Disaster relief agencies and major church denominations are questioning why evangelicals are not more concerned about the total needs of mankind and unwilling to respond and why so many evangelical churches are not providing their facilities to serve as disaster shelters to needy disaster victims. There are other types of disasters such as an economic disaster or a spiritual disaster striking our communities.
People respond more frequently to the call for salvation following a crisis situation.
Providing relief to victims will better enable the church to evangelize the hurting victims and to provide a greater witness of the love of Jesus Christ. When these disasters strike, a ready and generous response is required on the part of concerned people who will help meet human needs in witness and ministry in the name of Christ. Join hands with HonorBound and the Convoy of Hope's TEAM America Community Response in this vital ministry of community care. America Community Response endeavors to activate Christians to a higher commitment to God by fulfilling His mandate to be leaders in their churches and leaders in their communities. It also enables Christians to do just that by heading up the outreach ministry to victims in need.
