giving wisely

Tragedy.  Absolute tragedy.  People who need their most basic needs met.  Basic needs.  Survival needs.  Always reminds me of how incredibly blessed I am, how incredibly luxurious my life is, how quickly, instantly it can all be turned upside down.  In a moment.

If you have a desire to give, may I suggest an organization that I know will use your donations in the best way it can, in the name of Jesus Christ.  A member of our church here in Geneva is a part of this organization and is in Haiti right now.  I have no doubt that the funds provided to this group will be used to help meet the needs of the people of Haiti & for Kingdom work during this unimaginable tragedy.  If you have a place to donate or are not interested, no biggie.  But if you're looking for a place to give, but not sure where to send your funds, I would recommend you take a look at GAIN.

Good plea for Haiti. Our church is giving the entire contribution of Jan. 31 for Haiti. God bless all efforts such as yours to promote the need for Christian care and benevolence.

(Note: I linked here from Genny's blog where I read one of your comments. I have a blog called Family Fountain with articles on family issues).
