Pakistan Flooding: Our Response

The devastating floods in Pakistan have dominated world news and it should burden our hearts as Christ-followers.

Isaiah 58:6-8

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard."

As we attempt to gain and reflect the heart of God into the world, these tragedies become opportunities for the Gospel to advance.  Because of your generous giving, we are able to seize this opportunity and help meet real needs ... both physical and spiritual during this tragedy.

Rock Bridge will be contributing to Samaritan's Purse which is a strong Christian agency that is currently working with 6 churches in 6 affected regions in Pakistan.  These churches will be able to minister to 2000 families. {To learn more click here.}

Your giving back to God enables God's love for all peoples and nations to be declared and demonstrated!!

Let God be glorified by our generosity.  Let His name be declared to the ends of the earth!!

Let us pray for Pakistan!!
