Relief Efforts in Asia

The International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention is already mobilizing to bring aid to those areas hit by the tsunami.

"As Asia's battered coasts began to reveal the enormity of the death and devastation caused by the biggest earthquake in 40 years, Southern Baptist relief workers began working with others to aid the survivors.

Initial efforts will focus on delivering food, water, blankets and other essentials to coastal villages in southern Thailand -- some of which were nearly wiped out by towering waves – and the heavily damaged resort area of Krabi."

The Baptist Convention of North Carolina already has a mission partnership with Thailand and Southeast Asia. North Carolinians like you may already be on the ground and aiding the relief effort. If they aren't they certainly will be in the coming months. For more information regarding short term mission projects in Southeast Asia please contact the North Carolina Baptist Men.

You can contribute financially to the relief effort by donating to the IMB's Asia Earthquake Disaster Relief Fund (One hundred percent of each dollar given is used in a ministry).
