Pakistan Earthquake
I know the devastation within our own country is very great from the various weather disasters.
But the GREAT thing about Americans is that the have very BIG HEARTS. They have in the past given even to the point of hurting because of this national trait.
Really, when our nation HAS been so blessed, how can we not help when it is needed~~no matter where it is needed?

From Voice of the Martyrs:
Matthew 5:44, "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you."
The earthquake occurred in an area where many Islamic training camps exist and where Christians face extreme hostility. But our brothers and sisters in Pakistan are taking this opportunity to be a witness by demonstrating the love of Christ!
Slogans like the following slogan can be read in the area of Pakistan's recent earthquake.
"We have training programs. Come and join us and train in this Jihad. Kill Christians and Jews and you will go to paradise."
The death toll from the earthquake in Pakistan has now reached 50,000, with many bodies still lying under the rubble. Millions are without homes, food, water and hope. The Voice of the Martyrs just received a request from our field director in Pakistan for funds to provide immediate relief. Food, medicine and blankets are badly needed.
Now you can join with local churches in Pakistan in an outpouring of love to those opposed to the Gospel.
Join with our courageous brothers and sisters who are willing to stand as bold witnesses in the Islamic nation of Pakistan.
You can make a contribution toward the Emergency Earthquake Relief Fund, which will be used for blankets, food, medicine and other necessities and will be distributed directly through the local church in Pakistan to their Muslim neighbors in the area affected by the earthquake.

...Aid workers with the Southern Baptist Convention are assisting survivors of the recent killer earthquake in Pakistan. It is estimated that more than 40,000 people died when the earthquake hit October 8 on the Pakistan-India border.
SBC missionaries have been in the area for years and are able to use their contacts and knowledge of the local customs and languages to bring aid to those in need. One SBC worker, who cannot be identified because of security concerns, says conditions are desperate. "So many of the people are homeless," he says.
"You're seeing videos on television -- that's exactly what's happened here. All those homes are down; people are just hunkered under trees and whatever kind of shelter they can find."
The Southern Baptist worker says as many tents as possible are being purchased and provided to those left homeless so they at least have some kind of shelter for their protection. No Southern Baptists serving in Asia were hurt in the earthquake and its immediate aftermath. by Allie Martin of Agape Press
