Prepare yourself and your family comprehensively to be ready.
It is not enough for Christians to have a grab and go kit with them when crisis strikes, they must be resilient in other ways to best be able to help their families and others in times of need. Being ready spiritually, emotionally, mentally as well as physically is important for the quickest and strongest form of recovery from any crisis
Respond Biblically to the emergency needs of others.
Christians have an answer for those in crisis that goes well beyond the moment and reaches all eternity. Through praying, caring and sharing the Hope found only in Christ, Christians are uniquely positioned to help others find triumph in the midst of tragedy.
Understanding Biblical Readiness.
Having an understanding of what the Bible teaches about preparedness and being ready to give an answer to the hope that lies within us is the foundation for the ReadyChristian training.
Building a Personal Preparedness and Response Network.
Before you can begin developing as a ReadyChristian, you must first know where you stand using the personal Biblical Readiness Test. This assessment will help you identify where you are already strong in readiness as well as areas to improve and it will help you define the importance of biblical readiness and what it means to be biblically ready and find others who will support you in biblical readiness growth.
Engaging in Together We Will Stand and Emergency Pray-Care-Share Activities.
We are not alone as Christians. “Together We Will Stand” is an important part of the ReadyChristian response process. The TWWS material explains how to develop as ReadyChristians, together. Learning how to engage in emergency Pray-Care-Share Activities is key to developing as a ReadyChristian and being able to give an answer for the hope that is within us. If we are not multiplying, we are not truly ready.

Practicing How to Respond.
It has been said that “practice makes perfect.” Part of being a ReadyChristian is to practice the response measures that you have put into place. This allows the ReadyChristian to see the strengths and weaknesses of their plan and adjust accordingly. You will be given some suggested scenarios that can be used to test the response plans developed throughout the ReadyChristian process.
Ongoing Training.
You will also be given suggestions for engaging in further training. As this training is designed to be done either individually or in a small group setting, we have offered some suggestions that can be done individually or corporately. The important task is to continue training and networking, preparing and responding measures to further create value in yourself as a ReadyChristian.
Each training section includes an overview of the steps, a checklist of things to do, and links to additional materials.
