ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

CREST is a non-profit Christian humanitarian organization. We are a group of volunteers who share a desire

to reach out to the poor and needy, refugees and victims of disaster with the love of God, through practical

ways such as providing food, clothing, shelter, medicines, basic healthcare and trauma counseling.

WHAT WE DO

CREST trains and sends volunteers from all walks of life to various countries to provide humanitarian assistance in

the form of medical aid, food, water, clothing and shelter to victims of natural disasters and crisis situations.

Through our same vision partnership, we have reached out to many unreachable groups who often did not receive

help from the mainline media.

OUR VISION

Bringing God's Love to The Poor and

Needy in Crisis.

OUR MISSION

Engage local churches and corporate organisations in response to disasters.
Train local volunteers and partners in disaster management and
Promote disaster risk reduction among vulnerable communities.

OUR FUNDING

Our funds are managed in the account of Crisis Relief Services & Training Berhad, a company limited by guarantee (a company that has no personal shares specially constituted under the Companies Act 1965 for the establishment and operation of non-profit institutions and charitable foundations).

HOW WE BEGAN

In 1995, during the height of the Rwanda crisis, 2 American doctors, Drs. Mark and Betsy Neuenschwander

of the International Health Services Foundation received a vision from God to raise up disaster relief teams

across the world. They visited Malaysia and conducted 3 consecutive Disaster Relief Schools (DRS) in 1995,

1996, and 1997. From these training schools, a group of graduates received God’s call to establish a

disaster relief organization in Asia.

WHERE WE HAVE SERVED

Since 1998, CREST has trained and sent volunteers from all walks of life to 20 countries to provide

humanitarian assistance in the form of medical aid, food, water, clothing, and shelter to victims of natural

disasters and crises situations. Working with partners who share the same vision, many unreached groups

who often do not receive mainline media coverage have been helped.
