Luke 6:32-36
“For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.”
To make it easier for each of us to get involved Nerd in the Word has taken the time to put together a short list of charities who are currently helping with Hurricane Irma disaster relief. These charities are doctrinally sound and are prepared to share the Gospel as they help others. Many of us don’t have the ability to get out there to help personally, but we can all donate to help our brothers and sisters serve while spreading the Good News of our loving Saviour.
Samaritan’s Purse
Samaritan’s Purse is currently serving in the Caribbean by delivering much-needed supplies to those affected by Irma. They are preparing to distribute more supplies to Florida and are still actively helping with the relief efforts in Texas.
