September 2017 has been overwhelmingly destructive for our church partners in the Caribbean and Mexico.

- Hurricane Maria has devastated Puerto Rico, leaving residents without basic necessities and forcing many to leave their homes.

- Mexico City was struck by a 7.1 earthquake. More than 219 deaths have been reported as buildings collapsed around the city.

- Hurricane Irma swept through the Caribbean leaving partner churches in Cuba in ruins.

Through the years, Compassion funds have enabled us to respond quickly to crises that touch our missionaries and their communities around the world. Urgent needs were met with medical and construction assistance, food and shelter for displaced families, and personal care and counseling for victims of natural disasters, among other things. In each case, your gifts were connected to MTW’s church-planting efforts.

Would you be willing to help us extend compassion to our partners in the Caribbean and Mexico as we respond to the great needs there?

Follow updates on our response efforts on MTW’s blog. 

Funds received by MTW as part of a disaster response appeal are used for relief and recovery, construction, travel for response teams, and related needs as well as for longer-term rebuilding and church planting. Exceptionally, when there are unspent funds, they will be used in future disaster and compassion situations.
