Dear Friends,

As the eye of Hurricane Melissa approaches the shores of Jamaica and Cuba in the next 12-36 hours, our hearts are heavy with concern for our brothers and sisters in these beautiful nations. In times of uncertainty and fear, let us come together in prayer, asking for protection, strength, and resilience for all those who will be affected by this storm.

We know that the aftermath of such natural disasters can be devastating, and as we await reports from our contacts on the ground, we are committed to responding with compassion and support. The CBF Disaster Response team will communicate with our churches and partners about the specific needs that arise, providing a pathway for us to extend our hands and hearts in assistance.

This is a crucial moment for us to not only pray but also to give generously. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who are facing challenges beyond their control. Let us stand in solidarity with Jamaica and Cuba, united in our faith and our commitment to helping one another.

You can give to CBF’s Disaster Response efforts here.

All donations received for “CBF Disaster Response” will be used exclusively to support disaster relief efforts. In the event that surplus funds remain after addressing the specific needs of a disaster, and in accordance with principles of good stewardship, these funds will be redirected to support responses to other disasters or emergencies. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to helping those in need.
