HOW TO HELP
Add the Neighbors Across The Land Disaster Relief and Recovery toolbar to IE or Firefox. One you add the Neighbors Across The Land Disaster Relief and Recovery toolbar for IE or Firefox, each time you shop at one of the more than 1,300 participating stores, a percentage of what you spend will be donated to us at no extra cost to you! (you could even save money as the toolbar provides coupons and deals). The toolbar also has a search box and each time you search the Internet, about a penny is donated to us. No registration is required! http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/neighbors-across-the-land-disaster-relief-and-recovery
DONATIONS
There are needs that need to be met daily to keep a disaster relief organization up and running. Aside from the funds needed to pay bills and put fuel in the trucks to go from disaster to disaster and training to training, your monthly donation of even 10 or 20 dollars can aid in purchasing tools and equipment. We also need funding for materials such as tarps, nails, and other supplies needed to get a home at least sealed up before beginning the recovery process. We also need phones, internet, and other means of communication to be able to aid in the response and recovery process.
Each disaster is different in how funds are used and even when we are not directly in a disaster we need funds to help with fuel costs to provide disaster preparedness classes to schools, libraries and churches. We do not charge anyone in a disaster to receive aid; we simply rely on generous donations from people across the United States to help their neighbors.
If you feel called to Donate you can mail your check or money order made out to natldrr to the following address:
PO BOX 192
Aplington, IA 50604
Or click below and donate using paypal or your credit card.
Another way we are able to continue to move forward is by partnering with other organizations, businesses, and churches. Partnerships allow for people to come together quickly for a greater purpose. The more people we have that come together to fulfill God’s purpose the quicker people are getting back in their homes and can attempt to begin to live a “regular” life again. The other advantage to being a partner with a disaster relief organization is it allows the community to see that you are willing to help meet needs of those in your community.

PRAYER WARRIOR
An other way you can help is by becoming a prayer warrior. If you sign up to be a prayer warrior you receive a list of monthly prayer concerns and praises. We would not be where we are today without the constant prayers from those around us.
Some needs to Pray for - But please just allow God to guide you in Praying for whatever he lays on your heart to Pray for.
- Pray for those we are serving, that we may have the financial resources to continue to aid them and to bring the Love of the Lord to them and the materials they may need to rebuild their lives.
- Please take a second tonight or through out the day to Pray for the Missionaries we have in the field serving the Lord.
- Pray that the Lord continues to guide our ministry and that the doors are opened that He wishes for us to go through and for the Wisdom to go through the right ones.
- Pray that we continue to have the strength to serve in a way that glorifies the Kingdom.
- Pray that we have safe travels
- Pray for financial means to allow us to continue our service to the Lord and the communities we serve.
- Pray for the souls in these communities effected by disaster or hardship around the world
- Pray for a hedge of protection to be around the missionaries and the souls suffering hardship.
- Pray that the Lord continues to provide the resources and missionaries to send out into the field for the harvest.
If you feel called to serve with us this way please email us or call us .
