Review for IDES, Noblesville, IN, USA
IDES has been part of our church's missions giving for over 25 years! They are truly front line workers and first responders! Whether it's a famine or a natural disaster, they are immediately in contact with local churches or missionaries to see where the needs are and how they can meet them. They are quick with disaster response measures when needed, and yet use great knowledge and experience to plan and prepare for events ahead of time by having supplies and materials ready and available. They are also very welcoming to letting others aid them as volunteers to go to damaged areas, prepare meal packs, etc. IDES is also very family-friendly. They have programs for children's VBS programs and allow for volunteers of most any age group to contribute their time and talents. Giving to IDES is also varied and creative, by designating funds to specific events or the purchasing of items to benefit those directly affected by disaster, storm, famine, or even for community development and evangelism. Praise the Lord for IDES and their commitment to give help and hope to a hurting world!
