Care for Refugees Fight Human Trafficking Protect Children and Families Strengthen Communities

Partnering Together to Serve a Hurting World

Affiliate ministries are like-minded Southern Baptist organizations who share our commitment to meeting needs in Jesus’ name. Each one serves its community with hands-on compassion and creates pathways for other churches to learn, serve, and replicate that same gospel-driven care.

Send Relief comes alongside these leaders with coaching, training, and practical support, strengthening their work and helping more churches step into compassionate action. We’re grateful for every story God is writing through them and love sharing how He is using their efforts to bless their communities.
