CHBC Cross-Cultural Missions

Tsunamis. Hurricanes. Floods. Earthquakes. Fires. How can we respond? We have chosen to work with the Christian Relief Agency, World Relief, because of the importance they place on working with and through churches in the areas affected. When we wish to respond as a congregation, we collect a donation for World Relief. Those who wish to do more can also contact them for opportunities to be more directly involved in their work.

An important lesson in disasters is remembering a population years after they experienced disaster, and not forgetting about them as soon as they are no longer in the news. For this reason, we have committed ourselves to the rebuilding of New Orleans through the Christian ministry called Urban Impact. We send teams of people to New Orleans several times a year.
