CBWC News

A month of heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan have left more than 20% of the country underwater as this poor and violence-torn country experiences the worst natural disaster in its history.

More than 20 million people have been affected, with 8 million requiring emergency aid. Millions have been left homeless and many forced into makeshift settlements. More than 1,500 people have died so far and as the waters continue to rise, the threat of waterborne diseases like cholera threaten to kill thousands more.

Donate Through CBM

Although Canadian Baptist Ministries has no pre-existing missions in Pakistan, it is arranging to donate funds raised through the Canada Food Grains Bank. These funds will be multiplied 4:1 by CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) and will be used for desperately needed emergency food relief. Severe food shortages are expected because so much cropland has been submerged by the flooding.

To make a donation to CBM for Pakistan, go to www.cbmin.org All donations made between August 2 and September 12 will be matched dollar for dollar by the Canadian government.

CBWC Stories

This week's highlighted ministry is the Homestart Foundation

The Homestart Foundation helps people re-establish a home by connecting them to donated furniture. When a piece of furniture is donated, it is sent to the Homestart warehouse where it is stored till it is connected with a home in need. Homestart then ships the furniture to the new house and helps the family set up.

The Homestart Foundation is another unique ministry that the CBWC is proud to be connected with. To find out more about the Homestart Foundation, please visit www.homestart.ca
