When disasters strike in areas where BMS World Mission is able to make an effective and dependable response we will use our website to make an initial appeal for your support. Please check here first.

Disaster keeps no schedule, knows no borders and obeys no political agenda. When it strikes, the poorest of the poor and those with no means of rebuilding their lives are often the first to suffer. Christians must be equipped to respond quickly and in a way that will make a genuine difference.


 BMS responds to disasters in three phases:

Emergency relief
Rapid provision of medical and material aid where a disaster has destroyed the basic things of life…

…such as providing shelter, food, water, medicines, and cooking facilities


Rehabilitation

Restoring the essential services that have been destroyed...

...such as helping to rebuild homes and restore lost or damaged equipment necessary for livelihoods (farming, fishing, etc)


Development
Improving the range and quality of services…

…such as teaching new skills to improve opportunities and standards; always moving from dependence towards independence
