CCA PASTORAL LETTER to PAKISTAN20 Sept 2011 To the CCA Members in Pakistan: Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ – We are deeply anxious for you, our dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as you bear the sorrow and misery brought about by the recent floods. We grieve with you – for the 269 people already confirmed dead, six million affected, and half a million having lost everything they have. We grieve with you – for the children dying of diseases and hunger in camps, while food and tents are in short supply. And for this to happen even before those hit by the 2010 floods could return to their homeland…The churches all over Asia uphold you in prayers and assure you of our solidarity. Let me take this time to appeal to CCA members and friends to pray and express their solidarity to the people of Pakistan. They are the faces of Christ today in our midst – cold, hungry, without shelter, sick and even dying. For concrete expression of care and generosity, you may send your contributions through the CCA Emergency Fund: (Acct. Name: Christian Conference of Asia, Hang Seng Bank, Acct No.: 295-4-709594, Hankow Road Branch, Kowloon, Hong Kong; Swift Code – HASEHKHH; Account Type: Multi-Currencies Account). At this most difficult time we plead God’s Spirit of Compassion and Love to abide in us, and to comfort those who are afflicted. Yours in Christ’s service, Henriette Hutabarat Lebang General Secretary posted by cbs on Monday, September 26, 2011 |
