GIVING CODE: ACM1200

REGION: Asia-Pacific

Typhoons. Floods. Landslides. Nearly half of the world's deadly natural disasters occur in the Asia Pacific region, according to the UN. When disasters strike, those left behind can be left with a deep sense of loss, insecurity, and overwhelming need. Families and individuals in affected areas need immediate assistance, including shelter, food, clean water, and household items. During disasters and emergency situations, NCM partners with local churches as they work to assist people in meeting short-term and long-term needs—both physical and spiritual. The church is committed to a holistic approach to emergency relief that includes meeting immediate needs and then walking alongside those affected on a path toward long-term recovery and stability. Each emergency relief effort is organized locally with the support of the global church through prayer, giving, and technical support. The local church often partners with other organizations and local government agencies in order to best meet needs as well. Your gift to the Asia Pacific Disaster Relief Fund will enable local churches to strategically organize immediate relief and long-term rebuilding projects for children, families, and communities affected by disasters.
