Thousands flee as Pakistan flood spread06 August 2010 Dear Victor and Friends in Pakistan It is with shock and sadness we watched on television and read in the daily news papers the destruction and havoc caused to lives and property of hundreds of people in your country. Please be assured that we are praying for you and also making a request to the member churches and councils of CCA to uphold the victims of the floods and your nation in prayer. We believe this is also a time for you to pool all your human and material resources and to work as far as possible ecumenically and even with people of your sister faiths. It is at times like this we can demonstrate to the world that our faith which is nurtured by the mind of Christ can transcends all divisions base on religion, class, caste, ethnicity, color, gender and politics to ease the pain and suffering of the people and become a beacon of strength and hope to those who have lost almost everything in life. By this letter we are also making an appeal to all member churches and councils to share their solidarity in this hour of your pain and despair by contributing in cash, even in a small way, to the relief and rehabilitation work which will commence almost immediately. Once again we want to assure you that all those who have become victims of the flood and all who volunteer to minister to them are remembered in our prayers. With Peace and blessings, Yours in Christ Dr. Prawate Khid-arn General Secretary CCA Rev. Freddy de Alwis posted by cbs on Monday, August 09, 2010 |
