When disaster strikes somewhere in the world, our typical practice is to plug into organizations that specialize in relief work, rather than try to organize something as a denomination. People in your church may be interested in helping the people of Myanmar devastated by the recent cyclone.
Jeff Bleijerveld, the Director of Global Ministries, suggests that you might point them to Samaritan's Purse, a Christian relief organization. He writes, "I've worked with them in Darfur and Ethiopia when I was with World Partners, and they are excellent." The
Samaritan's Purse homepage has much information about their relief work in Myanmar.
