MSNBC is now reporting that as many as 100,000 are dead from last week’s Cyclone in Myanmar. One US diplomat reports that he saw “thousands of bodies” floating in the flooded delta.
Let that sink in for just a minute.
It’s times like this that often make us feel helpless. I mean, what can one person do when they hear of thousands of bodies just floating in the water? Well, one person can give a little money towards the relief and when thousands of those persons begin to give…we begin to make a big impact. There are many organizations to donate to and if you already have a giving relationship with one of those groups, then please give to them. If you don’t know who to give to then may I suggest Quest church in Seattle.
Quest church and its pastor Eugene Cho have traveled to this beautiful country. They have walked with these people…served with them…they are friends. Eugene through his blog Beauty and Depravity have asked people to join them in giving towards the relief efforts. If you would like to read more please click the Beauty and Depravity link above.
May we all think to pray for these people. May we be reminded of how all of humantiy is connected. May we somehow seek to join God in his restoration of Myanmar.
Love and Peace.
