How you can help

My friend Ruth and I had the opportunity to go to one of the refugee camps not long after the crisis.  It was a good experience because we were able to hear their stories and how the crisis had affected them.  While normalcy is returning to the city of Jos, there still are those who are without basic needs.  SIM has set up a relief fund.  The immediate needs are food and clothing, and as time goes on, rebuilding homes and churches will become the focus.  The relief money will go towards helping Christians and Muslims affected by the crisis, in the name of Jesus Christ.  If you would like to give towards relief efforts here in Jos,  go to  www.sim.org/giveusa and the project name is Nigeria Relief Fund.  The project number is 96038.  Thanks!
