Crisis Response Ministry shows God’s truth by providing physical, emotional, and spiritual care and partnering with other crisis and disaster-focused organizations. There is no place where God’s love, kindness, and truth are not needed. That includes some of the most dangerous places in the world and the most traumatic circumstances people could experience. 

From surfing in Hawaii to sharing the Gospel in Ukraine, Dr. Edward Smith has answered God’s call in his life to walk out the truth of the ‘Good Samaritan’ parable. As a chaplain, he has been able to minister to law enforcement and crisis responders and teach crisis preparedness to local churches.
