Matching Words With Actions
Without getting into too much detail (different post for a different day), part of our recent radio silence has been due to the three of us trying to muddle through what it means to actually live out the things that we say matter. The reality is that for most of us, it’s much easier to say what we think than it is to execute.
The recent events in Haiti are an example of circumstances where we may feel some degree of empathy, but fail to act. This is, quite simply, unacceptable. Please donate to the relief efforts through one of the organizations listed below, and also commit to praying for both the victims of the earthquake and those who are working on their behalf.*
Partners in Health (partners of charity:water)
Concern Worldwide (partners of charity:water)
Doctors Without Borders
Yele Haiti (or text ‘yele’ to 501501 to donate $5)
UNICEF
Mercy Corps
Red Cross (or text ‘haiti’ to 90999 to donate $10)
World Vision
More listed on MSNBC’s site.
* If you know of other reputable agencies that ought to be listed, please list them in the comments section. We’ll add them throughout the day.
