Making a difference in North America

In operation for over 35 years, the Family International is dedicated to enriching people’s lives in North America through spreading the Christian message of God’s love and hope, and by putting this message into action. Members endeavor to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, who said His ministry was to “preach the Gospel to the poor” and to “heal the brokenhearted.” (From the Gospel according to Saint Luke, chapter 4, verses 18 & 19)

Hurricane Katrina Relief

In response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Family International volunteers are currently on the scene aiding existing relief efforts in providing food, clothing, water and other basic needs to the evacuees from Louisiana. Our foremost priority is the emotional and psychological well-being of the children and adults who have endured this tragic course of events. As Christian counselors, our volunteers are focusing their efforts in providing emotional and spiritual support, as well as programs, activities and inspirational materials to impart comfort, encouragement and hope, and to bring happiness and emotional stability back to the displaced children.

Family International volunteers wish to express their condolences to each victim of Hurricane Katrina. Our hearts go out to each one affected by this tragedy and the resultant suffering and loss. We pray that God’s abundant grace and comfort will afford a place of refuge in this time of trouble. We urge the American people to donate to relief efforts of their choice to alleviate the suffering of our fellow citizens.
