Greetings in the name of Jesus our Savior.  You have seen the catastrophic devastation that the Tsunami of December 26, 2004, left in its wake across Asia.  According to press reports there may have been over 150,000 deaths in eleven countries.  While the heart is rendered on the earthly pain because of the great suffering, it is even more horrible to perceive how many of those went into eternity unprepared.  We know as David did (II Samuel 12:23) that the babies and little children who died by the thousands are safe with our Lord, but judgment awaits “those who do not know God and those who (did) not obey the gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ”  (II Thessalonians 1: 6-9).  Tamil Nadu, where we have fourteen Bible Training Schools, was the hardest hit state in India, with a government estimate of more than 7,500 dead and many still missing.  This is the fifteenth day since the disaster and television has shown horrible scenes of death and devastation with truck loads of bodies being carried to places for mass burial or cremation. Bodies are still being pulled from the rubble and bulldozers and back hoes are being used to bury other bodies where they fell.  It is our prayer that this Biblical like plague of the Tsunami will cause the Tamil people to open their hearts to the gospel and turn from the dumb idols of wood and stone.  Our plan is not just a hand out of disaster relief, but a studied effort to win souls and hearts for our dear Master’s sake.  Never before has there been such an opportunity in this state of more than 65 million souls.  Please help as you can by sending your gifts to:  Crossville church of Christ, Waldron Mission Fund, PO Box 1010, Crossville, TN 38557. If you have questions please feel free to email or phone us.
