Right now, it's an earthquake in Turkey and Syria. The strongest earthquake to hit Turkey and Syria in a century struck the region on February 6, 2023, leaving tens of thousands dead and many more thousands injured. The 7.8-magnitude quake in Turkey's Gaziantep province was followed by aftershocks as strong as 7.5 and 5.6 in magnitude, causing buildings to collapse and debris to be scattered across the region.
In the recent past, it has been the war in Ukraine, hurricanes and earthquakes in the Caribbean, and COVID-19.
When missionaries face disasters such as these, they are able to request immediate help from the Compassion Fund. Your gifts to this fast-to-field reserve enable our missionaries and national partners to quickly respond to urgent situations in their communities, meeting physical needs, sharing the love of Christ, and establishing a foothold for gospel ministry.*
Right now, can you help serve the most vulnerable by giving?
*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.
