Myanmar/Thailand Earthquake

On March 28, 2025, a 7.7 earthquake struck SE Asia leaving millions devastated from collapsed buildings to lost loved ones. IDES has multiple partners on the ground in the countries of Myanmar and Thailand. Through their help, we have sent relief to help on numerous projects following this disaster. As we continue to pour into this area as they recover, pray for strength and Christ’s love to shine through. You can give to this cause below.

Eastern Kentucky Flooding

In Eastern KY and the surrounding areas, IDES came to assist churches with their communities recovering from flood damage.

Hurricane Helene & Milton

Hurricane Milton struck Florida on the evening of October 9, 2024. Just 2 weeks after Hurricane Helene hit the state, they face more clean up and rebuilding. These back-to-back hurricanes were devastating in several states. Our US Disaster Response team, churches, and volunteers have been on the ground since September. IDES is responding to Helene and Milton in Florida, Tennessee, and North Carolina with multiple churches. Primary relief efforts include clearing trees and damage, tarping roofs, and boarding up homes as well as cut-outs and muck-outs. We are now in phase two which will be repairing and restoring homes and building homes from the ground up. We anticipate that we will be working in the states of Appalachia for several months. Go to our volunteer opportunities page to learn more about volunteering. Already a registered volunteer with IDES and want to get involved, please visit ides.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/.

Thailand

IDES has been very active in Thailand helping Myanmar refugees who have fled danger from war in their home country. Through food distributions, biblical color books, trainings, and more, IDES has provided help and hope in all three focus areas— Disaster response, Development, and Disciple Making. It is an ongoing partnership in Thailand as IDES strives to help those in need both physically and spiritually.
