Christchurch earthquake
Christchurch has suffered another devastating earthquake taking lives and affecting many, not only in the Canterbury region but throughout New Zealand. Our deepest sympathy, hearts and prayers go out to all affected by the Christchurch earthquake. We here at BiblesinAction are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. We believe that as Christians we grieve, the same as everyone else... but with one difference. We grieve with hope... hope of a coming Christ! Hope that helps us look ahead. Let's all support one another, and especially our brothers and sisters in Christchurch.
The Bible gives us clear guidelines:
"If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it..." - 1 Corinthians 12:25
"Share each other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ" - Galations 6:2
If you are interested in giving to the rescue and relief effort Civil Defence New Zealand are recommending people donate to Red Cross or the Salvation Army.
