International Disaster Relief Fund
International Disaster Relief Fund
Donations to the International Disaster Relief Fund will be used to help alleviate suffering when needs arise around the world that are outside the scope of the EPC Emergency Relief Fund (domestic), used for situations in North America. Donations are forwarded to EPC World Outreach workers “on the ground” in affected areas, international ministry partners, or to other appropriate agencies and organizations at the discretion of EPC leadership.
As of September 2023, donations to the International Disaster Relief Fund support the following needs. World Outreach leadership is staying in close contact with workers in each of these regions to determine the most effective use of donations.
- Our partners in Morocco to aid in disaster relief efforts after the September 8th earthquake.
- Our partners in Pakistan to help with immediate material needs for Christian victims of the Jaranwala attacks in August. In these attacks, dozens of churches and over 100 Christian homes were burned to the ground.
- WO workers in Eastern Europe and elsewhere who are serving the vast Ukrainian refugee population that is fleeing the country.
- WO workers and partner ministries (Timothy Two Project International and The Outreach Foundation) in Turkey and Syria who are serving those devastated by the recent earthquakes.

Donations that exceed local recovery requests may be held to be used for future international disaster relief needs.
We recently upgraded our online giving system. If this is your first donation on our new system, you will need to enter your financial information. This is necessary because the EPC does not hold any of your credit card or bank numbers. Your data is encrypted and secure, and EPC World Outreach will not have access to any of your financial information—only the amount of your donation and the fund to which you are giving.
