International Responses

Throughout the world, believers experience the call of God to respond together in times of local, regional or national crisis.  Indigenous churches and believing communities best understand the needs and the cultural context of their own people.  It is often the churches that offer the most effective and sustained effort in response to human suffering.  We are called to stand with our overseas partners and respond to their requests for assistance as they reach out to serve their neighbors. This is part of our enduring witness to Christ's love worldwide.
