Indiana Flooding
Significant rainfall has swept through east and central Indiana, with areas around New Castle receiving over a foot of rain in under a week. The persistent downpours continue to create dangerous flooding across the region, prompting a state of emergency throughout the state, including Hamilton County, where IDES Headquarters is located. Our IDES U.S. Disaster Response Team is in contact with churches and communities across Indiana to assess needs, offer assistance, and prepare to respond where help is most needed.
IDES Focus Areas
Development is one of the most effective methods of reaching communities with the gospel of Jesus Christ! For families struggling to survive, these projects share the hope of the gospel in practical, tangible ways. Through our local partners and Field Workers, we are able to work directly with struggling communities to find long-term, sustainable solutions for generations to come.
When disasters hit, we provide timely relief. In the US, our disaster coordinators and volunteers work with local churches to best reach affected areas. Internationally, we work with mission partners as well as our own Field Workers and International Project Managers to coordinate relief. Whether a natural or man-made event, we prioritize locally-based relief to rebuild communities while also sharing the hope of the gospel with families affected.
In everything we do, our priority is to share the love of Christ with those who are hurting. Whether through Integral Disciple-Making training, building Legacy Churches, our Rick Jett Leadership Fund, Bible distributions and translations, or leadership conferences, our goal is always to make disciples who make disciples.
