NEPAL EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY APPEAL -

Devastation in Nepal

Just before midday local time (approx. 4pm AEST) on Saturday 25th April, Nepal suffered one of the worst earthquakes to hit a populated area in living memory.  To put this in perspective, the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand in 2011 was a 6.2 magnitude. The Nepal earthquake has led to at least 2,500 people confirmed dead, the destruction of countless homes and buildings and has left many people sleeping on the streets in freezing temperatures. Anglican Board of Mission has earmarked $10,000 in order to provide emergency relief for those affected. ABM is working through ACT Alliance members a network of Churches

around the world providing Aid to the world's poorest, in order to provide emergency relief. ABM's Executive Director, the Rev John Deane, said, "This (Nepal) is one of world's poorest nations substantially due to its ruggedness and the task of rebuilding will be massive and take years." Please help ABM support the people of Nepal by donating and spreading the word. www.abmission.org/nepal-emergency  Please pray for the earthquake victims, and all who are helping in the relief effort.
