An initial sum of $10,000 has been granted by Baptist World Aid (BWAid), the relief development arm of the Baptist World Alliance, to assist flood victims in Pakistan.
The funds, which will be used to meet medical, food and shelter needs, will be disbursed through BMS World Mission, a British Baptist missions organization, and partners. Additional sums may be given to the Interfaith League Against Poverty, which is working with the National Baptist Church of Pakistan.
“The Baptist World Alliance is deeply moved by the level of suffering of the Pakistani people at this time,” said Paul Montacute, director of BWAid. “We ask all Baptists to remember the country and people of Pakistan in their prayers and offer practical expressions of help.”
