With the Church, Bringing Hope in the midst of Crisis
Engulfed in the highest percentages of poverty and disaster, 3.2 billion people continue to lack access to the gospel. Even though persecuted and isolated, small churches live in their midst ready to bring hope.
Our Approach
Imagine a local church...
in a community impacted by crises like severe flooding, fire, or civil unrest. The community often opposes and even oppresses those in the church.
They are there...
for the long term, helping to rebuild and restore the community. This crisis response opens doors that are often closed, transforming lives and hearts in the process.
When a crisis strikes...
this church, supported by other local churches in their network, trained and equipped with essential supplies like Hope Bags, first aid kits, and water purification systems, can respond effectively. They have resources already available to them where they have contributed regularly to an emergency fund that can provide immediate relief and support. This enables them to turn opposition into opportunities to share the love and hope of Jesus with those in desperate need.
That is what churches in...
HOC Crisis Response Networks are doing today. We currently have requests from dozens more churches and countries to connect with a network, be trained and equipped, and to participate in our global emergency fund program. Help us act now.
“I now see how God will use crisis to bring true blessing and healing
to communities and that this is our church’s responsibility.”
