In times of crisis The Lion’s Den Missions Base (TLD) is positioned to respond swiftly and efficiency to those impacted adversely. In partnership with the United Nations Chaplains Association TLD launched its Rapid Response & Relief Initiative to support mankind in life’s most trying times.  TLD Rapid Response Teams (RRT’s) strives to deploy into a community within 24 hours to investigate damages while sending team members within 48 hours to support preliminary efforts. TLD and its partners provide direct response in disasters by staging emergency distribution sites to provide essential goods, services and counsel to vulnerable populations.
