Disaster Response
We continue to assist victims of tornados in Tennessee and Kentucky, and are in the process of providing new mattresses to families moving back into homes that have been repaired, and those who have needed to relocate because of the damage

Ukraine Crisis: the growing crisis in Ukraine has forced nearly 5 million Ukrainians to flee across the borders while many others are displaced within the country. The Somebody Cares network of ministry partners continues to send teams, medical supplies, Ukrainian audio Bibles and more; as well as supporting local churches in the region in providing food, shelter, transportation, trauma counseling, and other essential services to those who have fled. We are also getting aid into Ukraine to help those who remain. This is a long-term situation which requires much prayer and generosity from the Body of Christ. Please stand with us and enable partners to be a tangible expression of God’s love in this critical moment in history.
