For our fellow Asians

Even as we celebrate the birth of Christ and soak ourselves in the spirit of giving, a 9-magnitude earthquake (the largest to strike the globe since 1964) has unleashed devastating tsunamis on coastal areas throughout South Asia, killing more than 23,000 people and leaving a million homeless on December 26.



Among the worst affected countries are Sri Lanka and India, as well as Indonesia, Maldives and Thailand - which are mostly Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim countries and you would realise that Christians make up a very small population and are still being persecuted. And so I pray, Lord, have mercy on the souls of those who have yet to know You...

The resulting convulsion is major; far worse than anyone can imagine. Being here on our little island, Singaporeans are truly very blessed. Let us not forget the less fortunate and the victims of this disaster... pray and GIVE.

Give through Red Cross or World Vision as they are actively responding and channeling emergency relief for the restoration of broken lives and livelihood. Demonstrate love. Send compassion to fellow Asians. You cannot love without giving.
