At CRI, we care for both the physical & spiritual needs of those we serve: sharing the light of Christ in Word & deed.

Ani lives in a village in the Deep Forest. Born into a Hindu family and village, she never heard of the hope of Jesus.

When Pastor A came to her village to share about the salvation found in Christ, she was deeply moved. She began to pray for change in her husband’s life, as he struggled with alcoholism. Before long, his behaviors began to improve and he transformed. Ani placed her trust in the Lord and began to share her testimony with others in the village.

Soon Ani became very ill. When Pastor A returned to the village, he was also able to supply the necessary medicine for her quick recovery!

You'll hear more Word & deed stories like Ani's at Night of Light on September 12! We hope to see you there! Visit nightoflightdinner.org to join us!

‼️Get ready, Ohio runners—CRI’s Second Annual Ohio Green Door 5K & 1-Mile Trail Run is just around the corner!

👟 Join us October 19th for a fun and impactful event that provides homes for those in need.

As we prepare for this year's Night of Light, let's celebrate the incredible impact from last year’s event:

✨ More than 1000 mothers, babies, and malnourished children received vital nutrition and care weekly!

✨ The G Brothers' dream of opening a profitable dairy farm became a reality with 21 water buffaloes!

✨ 14 Bible students from Shalem Christian Academy were able to pursue further education!

✨ 13 vulnerable girls in Uganda were able to stay in boarding schools & out of arranged marriages!

Your contributions during Night of Light are life changing. You can join the impact this year by sponsoring the event, donating an auction item, and inviting your friends!

If the answer is yes to this final question and any of the others above, visit childrensrelief.org/serve-with-us to see how you can become a part of CRI!

"Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples!" Psalm 96:3

Let’s make this year’s Night of Light the most radiant one yet!✨We're looking for people who are willing to donate auction items for our upcoming fundraiser on September 12th.

This Fourth of July, as we gather with family and friends for barbecues, fireworks, and festivities, let's take a moment to reflect on the profound blessings of liberty we enjoy.

At Children's Relief International, we are thankful for the freedom that enables us to serve the poor and vulnerable around the world. We are grateful to live in a country where compassion and generosity can flourish–where the Gospel can spark change in lives globally!

Do you feel called to serve—and build relationships with—the poor? When you serve with CRI, that's exactly what you will do.

“One of the best things about serving with CRI is that you get to know and help the poor in a deep and personal way. Thinking for any amount of time about world poverty is incredibly difficult and troubling. It seems to be such an overwhelmingly large problem and, for many, it is easier to avoid thinking about it altogether. However, when you realize that you can change things for an individual who you know, the possibilities open up. CRI missionaries have the privilege of living in that hopeful space.”

- Braxton B., Associate Director–International Operations
