Cyclones, Tornadoes and Earthquakes: How You Can Help

It seems like we are inundated with disasters.
There is the aftermath of tornados here in the U.S.
There is the earthquake near Chengdu, China
(where both the Searles and the Guenterts recently were) There is
the devastation from the catastrophe in Myanmar.
The list goes on.

Certainly there will be people who want to know how they can help

Allow me to remind us all that Week of Compassion is the arm of the
church that is there to respond to each of these kind of calamities.

Won't you please tell the folk you serve about this avenue of aid and
assistance. Week of Compassion is the most responsible and trusted
agency I know to deliver a compassionate response without the overhead
other agencies expend. All monies from WOC are also distributed through
the religious organizations in that geography. So the stewardship of
gifts is not overseen by political or governmental agencies.

Immediate and generous response is needed by the Christian community. As
church leaders you can help inform and motivate people to make a timely
response.

Won't you please see that this word is delivered through newsletters,
worship bulletins, e-mails, word of mouth, in every meeting of the
church, and from the pulpit.

And then ask everyone you can to be in prayer.

Thanks for any and all the assistance you can give to generating a
charitable Christian response.

Pentecost blessings,

Dr. Richard Guentert
