Crisis Relief Fund

God often works in the midst of crises to open the hearts of many to the gospel and draw them to faith in His Son. In times of hardship, tragedy and chaos, Christar workers seek to meet tangible and pressing needs in ways that enable them to connect with people who don’t yet know the hope of the gospel and to lay the foundation for sharing the good news.

COVID-19 has impacted the world in unprecedented ways, creating both massive needs for relief in countless least-reached communities and new opportunities to share the gospel. In the wake of this pandemic, donations to the Crisis Relief Fund have been used to enable Christar workers and their local partners to provide timely assistance, demonstrating the love and compassion of Christ in tangible ways and opening doors for future ministry.

For example, a couple Christar workers in South Asia witnessed the dire needs of refugees crossing the border from Myanmar into their country. With financial assistance from the Crisis Relief Fund, these workers led a distribution program providing rice, lentils and Bibles. They also hosted two camps during which refugees came together for worship, fellowship and intensive Bible study. God has blessed their efforts, as more than 20 people became believers during these camps!

Continual funding is needed so that workers will continue to be able to respond quickly and compassionately to needs for relief and development work in the wake of crises. Your gift will equip them to offer short-term assistance while building a foundation for ongoing outreach.

Specific Need:

Gifts of any amount help equip Christar workers to respond to the next crisis that comes.

Participate By Praying:

• Praise God for enabling workers to demonstrate God’s love as they meet pressing needs in the wake of crises.
• Ask God's to provide the resources needed to construct a simple first church building for refugees from Myanmar and others who have come to Christ since arriving in South Asia. Workers involved in ministry in the community are praying that local believers will donate the land and some building materials.
• Lift up the conflict in Myanmar and the many who have fled the country. Ask God to raise up more believers to minister to these refugees.
• Pray for a fruitful partnership with another local ministry that is building a Bible school to offer discipleship training to new believers.
• Ask the Lord to continually provide funding for crisis relief so that workers can respond in a timely manner when urgent needs arise.
