Tsunami relief:
-
If you
are interested in helping the Tsunami relief work, and want to be sure your
gift is used by those who are ministering in Christ’s name, please read
the following e-mail from the Diaconal Committee of the OPC:
Beloved in the Lord:
After
considerable research, the executive committee of the General Assembly
Committee on Diaconal Ministries has decided to set up a tsunami fund as a
vehicle for willing donors to help provide relief to believers in the affected
areas. Please designate gifts "for tsunami relief." Your gifts will be
given through existing Reformed ministries and churches in the areas of
disaster. It is our sincere desire that diaconal aid given in the name of
Christ be accompanied by a clear gospel witness. Since there are Reformed
ministries in the area of the disaster, we intend to distribute the Lord's
gifts through such ministries. Gifts designated for tsunami relief should be
sent to:

on Diaconal Ministries
