CRI Leadership
SEAN MALONE
Drawing from a background in the motion picture industry, Sean Malone returned to New York just days before the 9/11 attacks, where he played a crucial role in providing emergency lighting for search and rescue operations. His journey continued as Paramount Pictures sent him to New Orleans shortly before Hurricane Katrina struck, immersing him in extensive disaster relief efforts.
In 2007, Sean, alongside his wife Laura, founded Crisis Response International (CRI), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Since its inception, CRI has trained over fifteen thousand volunteer responders and full-time crisis response missionaries, deploying them to some of the world's most challenging crises and disasters. They persist in being at the right place and time with a worldwide community of CRI Responders who long to bring God’s love and care when people need it most. CRI remains at the forefront of training volunteers and mobilizing resources to bring relief where it's needed most worldwide.

"Being a CRI Responder has given me an opportunity to fulfill the call of God in my life that I know he's called me to, which is to be a person that responds in the midst of disaster to people in crisis. I never thought I'd have an opportunity to do the things that I've done before and go the places I've gone."
Karen Williams
"Before I joined CRI, I would watch the news and see disaster happen and go, I wish I could do something. Being a CRI responder has made it possible to be the hands and the feet of God and help people in times of disaster. "

This mission trip offers a unique opportunity to partner with local believers, strengthen the Body of Christ, and bring hope and practical support.
