Disaster Response: Mercy That Shows Up

Mercy that shows up — compassion, made competent.

The Good Samaritan, operationalized. How the church shows up when disaster strikes — the disaster cycle, the ministry of presence, relief that actually helps (“first, do no harm”), coordination, the long road of recovery, and the honest theology of suffering — with a localizable capstone response plan.

What’s inside
