Who We Are

We are Christians that assist local congregations of the Lord’s church in turning their disaster relief efforts into evangelism opportunities. These efforts open doors with individuals whose hearts are softened by what they have experienced. The follow-up efforts that we encourage establish relationships with survivors with the goal of converting them to Christ

What We Do

Crisis Evangelism does its work in three stages.

Preparations

  • Identify a sound congregation doing disaster relief
  • Deploy to their location bringing custom-designed supplies to identify the local church

Operations

  • Help organize for evangelistic disaster relief
  • Contact disaster survivors, pray with them, and ask if we can follow up so that they know we care
  • Put a link on our website to the congregation for those who want to directly help them

Follow-Up

  • Send handwritten cards
  • Make phone calls and visits
  • Supply the congregation with streamlined database information for continued follow-up

1. Preparations

While the local congregation is busy receiving supplies, we are
busy creating items to identify them in the community.

3. Follow Up

This is a critical step in turning benevolence into evangelism. We
emphasize and model this step with the congregation to encourage
them in their continued efforts with survivors.

What Congregations are Saying!

“When a disaster hits your town or close to your church, can I recommend Crisis Evangelism to call first? Mark gave us the tools and instructions to gather info and then how to follow up.”
Deland Guthrie

St. Augustine Road church of Christ, Valdosta, GA
“Their mission is to help everyone look beyond the physical destruction, to see the need to rescue lost souls from the dangers and debris of a life lived without Jesus. We can’t thank them or the Lord enough for their great work.”

“Mark, we appreciate your help greatly. We could not have done it without you.”
