The Mission
We serve as agents of peace in an increasingly chaotic world. The Bible clearly tells us to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and minister to the least of these. Foursquare Disaster Relief brings the whole gospel to the whole world by meeting the physical and spiritual needs of people desperately in need of hope.
Meeting Immediate Needs
When disaster strikes, FDR mobilizes volunteers to organize supplies and establish aid distribution centers as quickly as possible.
Providing Spiritual Care
FDR equips local ministers with crisis training to readily deliver the peace and hope of Christ even amidst disaster.
Establishing Long-term Solutions
During ongoing humanitarian crises, FDR remains steadfast with disaster relief services that survivors desperately need to rebuild.
Who We Serve
It’s sometimes easy to forget that every statistic on the news equates to real human beings. Anytime we send supplies or a team of volunteers to an affected disaster area, it is to first and foremost be a light for people in their darkest moment.
