Crisis Response Coordination Center

Bridging Alliances and
Aid in Times of Crisis

The Crisis Response Coordination Center connects National Evangelical Alliances with global relief and development partners — brokering funding, strategy, and support for communities facing major humanitarian crises worldwide.

About the CRCC

The CRCC exists to bridge National Evangelical Alliances and global actors in the field of funding and strategies for disaster mitigation.

The WEA’s strategy draws on a number of biblical principles from the teaching of Jesus and the example of the early church, namely the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) and the international support for the first-century Judean famine (Acts 11:28; 1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 8:1-21; 9:1-15)

Vision, mission, and key strategies
Vision
The WEA has as their members over 160 NEAs around the world as well as actors in relief and development. As national evangelical alliances, they are a representative group of Christian leaders in-country. They bring with them their church networks as well as their ground expertise.
Mission
The mission of the Crisis Response Coordination Center is to broker connection, liaise, and develop joint-venture initiatives between national member alliances of the WEA and global specialist aid, relief and development ministries and funders, in response to major humanitarian crises and projects beyond media attention.
Key Strategies
  • Network with leaders of global and regional actors engaged in disaster crisis-care and relief-management for collaborative response.

  • Contribute actively to knowledge and capacity of the programme management in the NEAs and WEA in acquiring of, using of, and reporting on institutional funding.

  • Broker, match and commend NEA project proposals and WEA ministry initiatives with potential funding partners.

  • Support NEAs with the development of project proposals as well as the subsequent monitoring and reporting.
