Katrina
I encourage all those who read my ramblings and who have a desire to donate to the hurricane Katrina relief effort to give their donations to their local church. Yeah, the Red Cross does lots of good and all but the body of Christ should act as one to address the hurt in the world. We are to care for the hurting, we are to house the homeless, we are to feed the hungry.
If your church does not have an organized effort to provide funds to the relief effort, I strongly recommend that you give to Samaritan’s Purse. It is a fine Christian organization led by Franklin Graham that truly cares.
Samaritan’s Purse’s Mission Statement:
Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ.
The organization serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
