Disaster Relief (ongoing)
Life is hard! God is good!First Baptist Church has experienced the joys and benefits of helping with and being helped by Disaster Relief. Whenever a disaster occurs, Southern Baptists are one of the first groups to send aid.
In North America, working through state conventions and the North American Mission Board's Disaster Relief, hundreds and hundreds of trained volunteers hit the road to help their fellow man. You can find out more about our national efforts by visiting the SBC Disaster Relief website.
Throughout the world, working through our international missionaries and churches and the Baptist Global Response, aid reaches areas that most of us will never see. You can find out more about our international efforts by visiting the Baptist Global Response website.
Whenever money is given through First Baptist Church for Disaster Relief, 100% of those funds goes directly to aiding those in need (not for overhead, advertising, salaries, or anything else). The gift is tax-deductible and brings hope and help to a hurting world.
