By meeting the physical needs of people first, there is greater opportunity for hearts to be opened and receive the Good News of Jesus Christ.

OUR MISSION…
is to alleviate human suffering and provide relief to the needy with the love of Christ.

STANDING IN THE GAP…
for those living in remote areas who have little or no access to care. Our short-term mission trips are directed toward the
destitute and forgotten. Just as Jesus would leave 99 for one

lost sheep (Luke 15:4), CERT concentrates its relief efforts to those without help.

DEDICATED TO …
maintaining and building relationships to further the Kingdom. Our goal is to assist community and church leaders, not overshadow them. CERT is committed to consistent follow-up, training and teaching. It is not so important what happens while we are there, but more so what happens after we leave. Our greatest responsibility is to the King of Kings; by helping young Christians mature we are fulfilling the Great Commission by making disciples of all nations.

WHAT WE DO …
Provide free medical and dental services to people with little or no care.
Distribute food, clothing, medicines, medical supplies, literature, and toys to the needy.
Assist in church building, growth and development in remote locations.
Organize short-term mission trips to hurting, suffering, and displaced people.
