DISASTER RELIEF STRATEGIES, EAST ASIAN PEOPLES

Seldom do hearts open more readily than when impacted by disasters. In addition to providing comfort to those who are suffering, relationships created during such times of difficulty may ultimately result in reproducing churches. The task of those involved in disaster relief strategies is to respond to disasters, train IMB personnel, train national partners, and become effective in engaging the lost through tragedies such as floods or earthquakes. Paul told Titus, “Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful” (Titus 3:14, NASB). Those involved in disaster relief strategies engage those stricken with “pressing needs” to relieve those needs in love and to be fruitful. You can join in this vital ministry through prayer. Please pray for the effectiveness of the disaster relief strategies.
