NOVEMBER 12, 2013 - FORT WAYNE - Associated Churches Active in Disaster (ACAD), a ministry of Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County, today issued a statement about the response to the Typhoon Haiyan.
 

"We advise local Christians to pray and to provide financial support to carefully chosen organizations," said Roger Reece, executive pastor, Associated Churches. "Prayer for victims and responders is vitally important. We also recommend that believers donate money, but so many reputable organizations are responding that we are not in a position to endorse one over another."

 

Reece suggested that members of national denominations find out if their denominations are responding and if so, support those ministries. Another option is to visit the website of National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, www.nvoad.org. There, people can find a list of reputable member organizations, many of which are faith-based. By following links to each member's website, people can learn how those organizations are responding to the disaster.
