Crisis Response International (CRI) trains and mobilizes everyday heroes just like you to help people after crisis shakes their world. Our certified CRI Responders bring hope, relief, and the love of God to communities affected by natural disasters and international crises. Whether responding to hurricanes, wildfires, or humanitarian emergencies, our teams provide essential aid, spiritual care, and hands-on support where it's needed most.

How You Can Serve

As a CRI Responder, you can deploy domestically or internationally to meet urgent needs. In the U.S., we mobilize teams with mobile kitchens, debris removal equipment, and chaplaincy support to assist with disaster relief. Internationally, we send medical teams, provide refugee care, and meet life-sustaining needs. Whether you're clearing debris, offering emotional support, or distributing emergency supplies, you have a role in this mission.

Take the First Step

Becoming a CRI Responder starts with our online Responder Training—equipping you with the skills and knowledge needed for effective crisis response. Once trained, you can apply to deploy and serve in real-world crisis situations.

Join us in bringing hope, healing, and the love of Christ to those in need.

CRI Responder Testimonies

Jarod Richardson

"You can go for a short season into a place where somebody's life was absolutely wrecked and devastated, where there was great injury to their way of life. In that shaken place of their life, you can minister the gospel in a place that is just so significant, deep, real, and loving."

Doreen Perfetto-Petrizzo

"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. "
