TouchGlobal, the Crisis Response Ministry of the EFCA
    

Mobilizing people, equipping churches, transforming communities




Crises propel Christ followers to action. From Peru to the Philippines, responders are "parachuted" into devastated areas to provide immediate relief, hope and long-term strategies for restoration. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan, lives are being changed by the love of Christ as TouchGlobal serves those in the wake of crises. Engaging churches around the world, TouchGlobal mobilizes partnerships to connect resources and response with indigenous church movements and local church leaders.




Along with responding to crises, training for local churches in preparedness and recovery is available. See the ministry overview brochure to see how your church can prepare for a crisis in your area. Short and long-term ministries need workers. Check out how you could serve! Open the list of opportunities, then under Ministry categories, check on the crisis response box for the list of needs.

Living on Destruction's Doorstep

			
			The horrible roar of an EF-5 tornado ripped through north Madison County, Alabama, on Wednesday, April 27. Since then, it has given way to much more encouraging sounds: The buzz of chainsaws on fallen trees. The clunk of volunteers’ work boots. The sweet chirping of songbirds.
