Urgent from Mission ONE: We need YOUR help! 8/27/10

Mission ONE announces the creation of a new fund, the International Emergency Fund. The urgency for this fund stems from the current situation in Pakistan. Our long-term partnership there is with the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Pakistan led by Rev. Inayat Bhatti. More than 40 national pastors work with Brother Bhatti evangelizing and planting churches throughout this Muslim nation. As seen in news reports, torrential rains have created devastating floods in Pakistan. Brother Bhatti says:
- millions of people have been displaced
- the floods have claimed the life of one of the pastors that works with RPCP
- many have lost everything and are in need of emergency supplies
- Christians often face discrimination when relief supplies are available
When situations like this one occur, Mission ONE receives calls from our partners asking for help. Often we do not have funds available, even for smaller crises. Would you prayerfully consider helping us with a seed gift for the International Emergency Fund? We are committed to using this fund for the current need in Pakistan and for future emergencies as they arise.
We are asking individuals, churches, small groups, companies, and foundations to help us demonstrate the love of Christ. Our team in Pakistan is dedicated to spreading the gospel and helping others in a land where less than 1% of the population call themselves Christian. By praying, sending funds, and encouraging our brothers and sisters in Pakistan, we can be living examples of how the body of Christ reaches out in love to the lost, the hurting and the weak.
The quickest way to give is through the Mission ONE "giving" website(below). Simply fill out the secure online form and in the “other designation” box write International Emergency Fund. Or, if you prefer you can send donations directly to us at the address below.
“If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:17-18
