International Disaster Emergency Service
|
IDES exists to bring glory to God by meeting the physical and spiritual needs in our hurting world until Jesus returns. IDES is funded through congregational support of Christian Churches/Churches of Christ and from the contributions of individuals. Each year IDES distributes thousands of dollars around the world to help with disaster relief, hunger, development projects, medical needs, and evangelism. IDES works with missionaries and ministers who are already reaching the communities where they serve and responds to hundreds of requests for help every year. All benevolent aid is given for the purpose of having the opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. IDES seeks to help victims of man-made or natural disasters by providing for their immediate basic needs and assisting them in rebuilding their lives. IDES is committed to helping victims of famine and malnutrition caused by man-made or natural disasters. IDES provides development projects to empower people to independently provide for their own basic needs. IDES gives a hand up and not simply a handout. IDES helps missionaries or their immediate family to receive emergency medical treatment if they lack the financial resources. IDES provides medicines, medical equipment or supplies for temporary health clinics sponsored by a missionary or mission organization.
