DISASTER RELIEF
When disaster strikes, we want to come together and do good; to love our neighbor well, in a time of need.  Our aim is to help individuals and people groups in crisis; locally, domestically, and globally – with immediate relief and long-term recovery.

PRAY
Prayer is not the only thing we do, but it is the first thing we do.
GIVE
We look to support those in need and assist those impacted.
GO
We want to make a practical difference wherever and whenever it is possible.
 
If a disaster occurs in another part of the country or world, Journey consults with domestic/global partners to determine if unmet needs exist that we can meet.

Convoy of Hope is our primary domestic/global disaster response partner that we seek to equip with funding in these situations. Convoy of Hope is a faith-based organization with a driving passion to feed the world. With a long history as an early responder in times of natural disasters, Convoy of Hope has been a Four Star Charity as recognized by Charity Navigator since 2002. Convoy of Hope has served more than 200 million people since it was founded in 1994. For more information, visit convoyofhope.org.
 
All effort will be taken to allocate donated funds to the particular disaster they were given toward. Any excess funds remaining will be used to grant future recovery needs of individuals experiencing personal crises. If you’d like to give towards our disaster relief fund, please click here.
