RAPID RESPONSE: AMERICA'S DISASTER RELIEF TEAMS
Bringing Hope in the midst of crisis, to those in need after a disaster. Rapid Response is a non-profit organization founded by members of the churches of Omaha in early 2000 in response to the increasing number of natural and man-made disasters around the world.
OUR MISSION
We Are Committed To:
Bringing hope to the hopeless by meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those suffering in the midst of crisis.
Meeting the needs of the poor and disadvantaged, here and around the world
Building relationships with those we serve in order to meet their immediate and future needs.
Providing a pathway of service and training for each of our members, allowing them to maximize their willingness and care as responders
Identifying like-minded organizations and developing relationships with them as we seek to prioritize the best initiatives for disaster response
The impact of a disaster is immediate and long term. The effects of loss, destruction and hardship do not end when the disaster no longer makes the news headlines. We continue to send teams to the affected people as long as we feel we can be of assistance. From the heartland of America, we can make our mark on the world.
God has called us to use relief work as a tool to bring hope and love to those hurting the most. It is at this darkest hour when His light shines brightest into the lives of victims in disasters.
Having a “front seat” in disaster relief provides a unique vantage point from which we witness tremendous heartache, physical and mental pain.
With training, teamwork and a heartfelt desire to assist those in greatest need, we are able to positively impact the immediate needs of these hurting souls.
The flexibility and adaptability of ORR’s teams enable us to help many individuals and families … and sustain a relationship with them through rescue, recovery and beyond.
