Christians Far Outgive Government in Hurricane Relief

By Caleb Parke/Twitter

Christian non-profits shined brightest in disaster relief for victims affected by both Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, far outpacing government assistance.

When disaster strikes our nation, it’s the faith-based organizations that gave billions of dollars of aid the fastest, as well as manpower on the ground.

While FEMA has a presence – it’s Christians who’ve taken charge.

“We’re there and we’re going to be there until the need is gone,” Rev. Franklin Graham, President and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse, told the Todd Starnes Show Tuesday.

According to the Daily Caller, “faith-based relief groups are responsible for providing nearly 80 percent of the aid delivered thus far to communities with homes devastated by the recent hurricanes.”

The article cited USA Today, which ran a headline: “Faith groups provide the bulk of disaster recovery, in coordination with FEMA.”

From Southern Baptist Disaster Relief to non-denominational Christian groups to the Methodists to the Seventh Day Adventists, each faith-based organization specializes in different areas, and has processes in place that no government agency can drop in and set up on a whim.

If we want a full recovery it’s not going to come from the bureaucratic mammoth that is Big Government, but rather, God, and His church, because unlike the federal government, this is the charge for each Christian:

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13
