About the Network

"Where is God in this?" CEN experts help Christians to answer this question by increasing awareness, readiness and responsiveness for the Hope of Christ to shine forth in the midst of tragedy!

The Christian Emergency Network (CEN) was formed after Sept 11, 2001 to equip and mobilize the local body of Christ to respond biblically in emergencies of all kinds. For over two decades CEN learned how responding to any crisis is all about personally following Jesus having strong resilient Christian experts guiding you. 

CEN is not a disaster organization, in the traditional sense. Rather, it is a unique network of godly seasoned leadership experts who come alongside the body of Christ to respond spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically before, during and after any crisis whether man-made or natural. 

Time, gifts and talents are best spent when 90% of those in any crisis will ask: "Where is God in this?" CEN experts help Christians to answer this question by increasing awareness, readiness and responsiveness for the Hope of Christ to shine forth in the midst of tragedy! I Peter 3:15

Based upon lessons learned experts use CEN ReadyChristian, ReadyChurch, ReadyCity and ReadySchool training to prepare the body of Christ to respond in unity and resourcefulness to draw others to Jesus in the midst of tragedy.

CEN is thankful to the following Christian experts who first embraced the vision and and continue to share their expertise: CDR Radio Network, Family Life Radio Network, ASSIST News Service, The Table Coalition (Mission America Coalition), The Salvation Army, Gospel Rescue Mission, National Day of Prayer, Cru (Campus Crusade), Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Rapid Response Team, Luis Palau Association, Zondervan Publishing, and NeedHim.org.

Christian Emergency Network experts have been appointed and honored to serve: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Faith based Advisory Committee; The Federal Bureau of Investigation Faith based Roundtable; Office of Intelligence and Analysis; Ready.gov; Rutgers University Miller Center for Community Resilience; and numerous State and local law enforcement and emergency management Fusion Centers.
