In September 2024, Hurricane Helene devastated parts of North Carolina and Tennessee, leaving many without homes. Since then, WCN has been actively helping families rebuild. We are currently partnering with Crossroads Missions in Mountain City, Tennessee to provide relief and restore homes.

Volunteers are helping with tasks such as painting, drywall, sanding, electrical work, and roofing. No experience is needed—team leaders will train you on site.

We invite you to prayerfully consider joining us in serving those affected. If you feel led to help, contact our Disaster Relief Coordinator, Tyler Snow, at tsnowwcn@gmail.com for more information. Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus and watch Him work in powerful ways.

Supporting our general fund empowers World Compassion Network to respond quickly to poverty and disasters in the U.S. and around the world. Your gift helps us partner with local churches and ministries, equipping them to meet urgent needs with compassion and care. By sustaining our daily operations, you make it possible to deliver aid, provide resources, and bring hope where it’s needed most. We’d be honored to have you join us in bringing relief and restoring lives in times of crisis.

We are thrilled to announce that an anonymous donor will match any contributions to the house project for Jorge and Iris Banegas and their five children: Christopher, Genesis, Sofia, Alison, and Eliana. This family, part of our church in Pastor Nelson's village, faces challenges living in a single room with bamboo walls and a tin roof. Jorge works two jobs and drives the church bus. Donations for the Banegas home project, part of our 2026 missions work in Honduras, can be marked as “Jorge and Iris.” and mailed to WCN, PO Box 1152 Warsaw, IN 46582 or by clicking on the link.
