How to Help?

With the death toll continuing to rise, Christians should be putting their faith into action. Yes, many of us will not be able to fly over there and be a physical presence, but there are things we can do.

First, we can pray. We should pray that those who have lost family, friends, and homes may be comforted. To that end we must pray for their salvation. It is only through Christ where one may find hope in amidst such despair. We must also pray for those who are physically helping. This will be a draining time and seeing so much death and destruction can really shatter one's hope. First and foremost we must pray that the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be exalted even during this time.

Our actions must not end with our praying. It is probably accurate to say that prayer without action is dead. How then can we act? Once we get some more money Sarah and I hope to give to Samaritan's Purse. We may not have much now, but we have much more than those who have been devastated by this tsunami. Please consider giving to Samaritan's Purse or another solid Christian organization.
