BRIDGING DIVIDES

Editor

Christ's world-altering power is perpetually at work, ending bitterness, caring for the downtrodden, one heart at a time.

WHEN THE SUMATRA-ANDAMAN EARTHQUAKE HIT, it flooded Indonesia and other countries with 100-foot tsunami waves in one of the worst natural disasters in recorded history. More recently, when monsoon rains hit and flooded Pakistan, water, at one point, covered 20 percent of the country's total land area. In some ways, the floods of humanitarian aid that poured in overmatched the floods of water. It may be only a slight overstatement to say that, in these case, as well as others like them, the whole human race got caught up in the helping, the hoping, and the praying for relief to get there in time.
