The Americas is now home to one of the world’s greatest refugee crisis. After twenty years of political and economic problems, Venezuela is imploding. The cost of living has grown ten million percent this year! Consider that a month’s salary for a professional worker will not buy even one carton of eggs! Food and medicines are either too costly or are no longer available. The portion of our mission offering for IMB provides vital ministry funds for work in the American Peoples Affinity, specifically to support projects meeting the physical and spiritual needs of Venezuelan refugees.

It may seem hard to believe that thousands of people in Puerto Rico are still struggling to recover from the devastating impact of Hurricane Maria in 2017. This past January, the island was struck with a new disaster as a 6.4 magnitude earthquake damaged homes and knocked out power. Since then, multiple earthquakes are rattling the southern part of the island almost daily. People are fearful and yearn for normalcy.

The North American Mission Board is responding through its compassion ministry arm, Send Relief, by providing food, water and other emergency supplies to residents staying in shelters or sleeping in their yards because they are worried about the safety and stability of their homes. Send Relief already has a long-term presence on the island and is providing help and hope to residents in many ways. One tangible way to help people in Puerto Rico is through the Send Relief backpack ministry. You can help fund efforts to buy backpacks and supplies for Puerto Rico, and Send Relief will work with volunteers and Southern Baptist churches on the island to provide children and families with essentials—ranging from food and clothing to school supplies—as an expression of God’s love and care.
