URGENT ACTION: Send words of hope and prayers to Orissa Christians

Posted: October 10th, 2008, by CG

Dear friends,

Christians in Orissa, India and in other states where the anti-Christian violence have spilled over need our words of encouragement and prayers. We invite you to write prayers and encouraging words to let them know that we are thinking about them, and they are in our hearts. Every Sunday, we will send your messages to our friends at All India Christian Council and Evangelical Fellowship of India who will in turn give these to our brothers and sisters there. If you are touched to give funds for the victims’ emergency needs for food, medicine and the like, contact us for details. We also urge you to join our candlelight vigil on 22 October, Wednesday (details).

It only takes a minute to fill out the box below and deliver a blessing!

For the voiceless,
CSW HK Team
