The motivation behind Southern Baptist Disaster Relief efforts can be summed up in one phrase: "A cup of cold water in Jesus' name." Southern Baptist Disaster Relief is following the example Jesus established when he fed the 5,000 and the 4,000 and his teachings in the parable of the Good Samaritan and Matthew 25:31-46.

Southern Baptist Disaster Relief is Christian love in action. It is meeting the urgent needs of hurting humanity in crisis situations with loving care and a timely response as James 2:15-16 instructs us to do.

The Southern Baptist Disaster Relief logo incorporates two types of ministry, phsyical and spiritual, exemplified by Christ:
- The arch of the Southern Baptist convention is our worldwide link.
- The wheat symbolizes physical help.
- The fish symbolizes spiritual help.
- The state name depticts the state Baptist conventions that make up the team.

Why are Southern Baptistis involved in disaster relief?

Believers are under scriptural and moral obligation to all mankind to provide a positive witness of the love of Jesus. He calls for Christians to demonstrate love to those affected by disasters through the efficient and immediate use of the resources, talents, and time entrusted to them.
