Mission: Service International, founded in 1985 as a support agency for missionaries and other charitable organizations, expanded into disaster relief and crisis intervention in the early 1990s, following the Great Flood of 1993. Service International (SI) headquarters, located in Chesterfield, Missouri were buried under torrents of filthy floodwater in that disaster. SI has developed a highly effective disaster relief model that has worked around the world, helping communities recover from famine, natural disaster, and war.
