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:

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

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

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

Our free Relief Appeal resources can be used when we launch an appeal, or at any time to raise money for our relief work in general:

• Promotional poster
  
  
• Leaflets (packs of 20)
  
  
• Donation envelopes (packs of 20)
  
  
• Downloadable PowerPoint presentation - available in the Downloads section, top right

Any money raised through this, or any specific, relief appeal in excess of the amount required may be used by BMS World Mission to support other work in areas of significant need.
