Baptist Men Disaster Relief is Christian love in action, meeting urgent needs of hurting humanity in a crisis. It is meeting those needs with loving care and timely response as James 2:15-16 instructs us to do. There is neither hidden agenda nor ulterior motive.

Jesus often used teaching sessions to heal, or healing to teach. He once ended a teaching session by feeding 5,000 listeners. When He sent out the twelve disciples, He instructed them to teach and heal, giving first priority to teaching. However, when He sent forth the seventy, He reversed the order: healing and teaching. In His wisdom, our Lord knew when to use one ministry to accomplish another and also when to do one and not the other.

Our disaster relief logo incorporates both kinds of ministry exemplified by Christ – physical and spiritual.
