CBF Disaster Response
The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship is preparing its response in the aftermath of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. CBF specializes in rebuilding efforts - not first response or search and rescue.  After the storms have passed, CBF personnel will assess the needs, determine how CBF can best respond, and then communicate what Fellowship Baptists can do to help. For now, you can keep informed through www.thefellowship.info.

Goal: $6.15 million. Because the Offering directly pays for field personnel salaries, benefits and ministry and operating expenses, CBF must reach their goal in order to keep them on the field. Their ministries need your prayers and your support. Learn more.
