Explore Crisis Response
In the wake of every crisis, a mission field is created. ReachGlobal Crisis Response seeks to proclaim and portray the love of Christ by coming alongside those suffering—physically, emotionally and spiritually.
During your time at a Crisis Response site, you’ll have the opportunity to learn and serve alongside our missionaries. We’ll invest in your development while giving you a taste of hands-on ministry. Our team will help you discover how your unique gifts can be used in service. As you partner with a full-time missionary in a specific area, your contribution will make a real impact.
You’ll also work with volunteer teams and help lead them as they serve the local community. You’ll build relationships with church partners, missionary staff, church members, homeowners and short-term volunteers. Crisis Response often uses construction as a practical way to serve, rebuild homes and share the hope of Christ. Our motto is “People over projects,” and you’ll play a vital role in living that out.
Throughout your time, a staff member will mentor you, meeting regularly to support your spiritual growth and transformation.
Our prayer is that this experience strengthens your faith and prepares you to serve in God's kingdom wherever He leads. Join us in the mission field that follows crisis.
