Christian humanitarian aid

== Intervention policies ==
The majority of Christian NGOs help everyone, regardless of religion.<ref> E. Ferris, "[https://www.icrc.org/eng/assets/files/other/irrc_858_ferris.pdf Faith-based and secular humanitarian organizations]", ''International Review of the Red Cross'' 87, 858 (2005), p.317</ref> With the growth of secularization in some countries, some Christian NGOs have downplayed their religious identity.<ref> Stanley D. Brunn, ''The Changing World Religion Map: Sacred Places, Identities, Practices and Politics'', Springer, USA, 2015, p. 3118</ref> In some NGOs this depends on the cultural context of the national antenna.<ref> THOMAS J DAVIS, ''Religion in Philanthropic Organizations: Family, Friend, Foe?'', Indiana University Press, USA, 2013, p. XVIII</ref>

Contrary to certain clichés, many [[Evangelical]] NGOs do not mix [[humanitarian]] and [[evangelization]].<ref> Verna, G., [https://www.erudit.org/fr/revues/as/2007-v31-n2-as2394/018681ar/resume/ Le comportement des ONG engagées dans l’aide humanitaire : Selon leur culture d’origine et les pressions politiques subies], Revue Anthropologie et Sociétés, Volume 31, Numéro 2, Université Laval, Canada, 2007, p. 32-33</ref> But on the other hand, some evangelical NGOs can not provide help without accompanying evangelization. The diversity of evangelical movements makes both scenarios possible. In some parts of the world, as on the [[African continent]], local culture places a great deal of importance on spiritual things, which makes it difficult for some people to understand or accept the work of Humanitarian NGOs that do not display their religious identity.
