Emergency Relief to Japan and Ecuador

Thanks to your donations to the One Great Hour Of Sharing collection each year when disaster strikes, International Ministries of the American Baptist Churches USA can respond quickly.

$7000 was sent to the Women’s Department of the Baptist World Alliance in Ecuador to provide relief funds to purchase water, medicines, food, mattresses and other relief supplies in order to help the churches that have become shelters in Ecuador. Read more.
