ARDF partners with local churches in times of crisis to reach those who need aid the most. The church doesn’t just leave when the disaster is over, but is committed to walking with those affected for the long haul, to bring restoration to communities. This is why ARDF invests in disaster relief through the local church or through organizations supporting the local church on the ground.

This <3 minute video highlights past relief efforts of the local church and why ARDF believes this is so important.
