Christian Aid

These are sites for organizations that specialize in aid for the needy, disaster relief, etc.

 

Salvation Army.  The SA is probably one of the most efficient of all charitable organizations.  Only about 7% of donations go to administration and fund-raising.  Contrast that with over 75% for the Red Cross.  Note that these numbers vary a lot, depending on which charity rating service you look at.

 

Samaritan' Purse.  Franklin Graham's organization.  A nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ.

 

Southern Baptist Disaster Relief.  They did a great job after the Black Forest Fire and a number of our group members took training and participated

Yellow Shirts - Southern Baptist Disaster Relief

Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.  For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 

Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?  When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?  When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’  The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’

Matthew 25:34-40 (NIV)
