International Relief

Share your faith and meet human needs through TBM International Relief

TBM is uniquely experienced and equipped to respond to physical and spiritual needs around the world because of our decades of work closer to home. Why do we work internationally?

We are called. Jesus told his disciples: “... you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8 NIV). When we respond to international need, we carry out Jesus' calling to reach the ends of the earth in His name.

We are prepared. Our experience and expertise providing disaster relief in the United States translates well into helping others in many countries. We can help, so we should help.

We stepped up when …

... war came to Israel
... a train derailed in India.
... an earthquake rocked Turkey and Syria.
... war came to Ukraine.
