OUR VISION

Our Vision is to Serve Christ by establishing a church network within Greater Austin that will meet the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of those affected by disaster. We will accomplish this vision by building a communication infrastructure within churches, ministries and businesses, to enable and empower the body of Christ to organize, mobilize, connect, prepare, train, and respond quickly in the event of a disaster, great or small.
