Review for IDES, Noblesville, IN, USA
I have been working with "Mission Explosion International" (a missionary working in India and Mexico) for 23 years.
One time, while we were doing a medical camp in one of the coastal villages along the Bay of Bengal, a member of one of our Church families, ran over to inform us that the next village was on fire. We left to go over to see if we could help. The fire had been put out but the village was still smoldering and several people came up to us that had been burned. We treated as many as we could and reassured them that we would do everything we could to help those who had lost everything they had. There were 300 families in the village. The next day our director contacted International Disaster Emergency Services (IDES) and they sent enough money to supply each family with water pots, clothes, sleeping mats, and food. We were also able to help the villagers rebuild their huts.
IDES has also helped with one of the missions that we support in Zimbabwe, Africa by providing food for those who have been affected by droughts.
There are so many missions and people that have been aided through the years by IDES. I could go on and on about all the disasters that I know of that IDES has helped. I was also in Lousiana to help with Hurricane Katrina when IDES helped build houses.
Of all the nonprofit organizations that help during disasters, IDES is one of the best in the world.
I know these people personally and can vouch that their mission is not only to help people during disasters but to help bring the good news of the saving grace of Christ through their ministry.
