Dear Friends,

The Archbishop of Sydney’s Anglican Aid has launched an appeal to support emergency relief in Nepal following the earthquake which struck the area between Pokhara and Kathmandu on Saturday, 25 April. Please use any or all of the information below for your church bulletin. I’m attaching a ppt slide for you to make use of and a donation slip that can be reproduced. Thank you for your partnership with Anglican Aid.

After consultation with CMS Australia, funds will be disbursed through INF and the Diocese of Singapore to assist people affected by the earthquake.

Information from International Nepal Fellowship (INF), indicated that people are sleeping in the open fearing further aftershocks. INF went on to say, “As the death toll continues to rise following the Nepal earthquake, please do pray for those who are trapped and injured, those who have lost loved ones, for safety and wisdom of those involved in rescue efforts.”  For more information go to cms.org.au/news/nepal-earthquake-update.

INF’s medical team from Pokhara, including other expatriate doctors, are travelling to one of the worst hit regions, Gorkha in Western Nepal, to provide support to local health services. Regular updates at inf.org.

CMS missionaries are currently serving on the ground with INF in long term medical and development work and are key personnel in the crisis response and rebuilding of the nation. cms.org.au.

Direct Deposits can be made to our bank account BSB 032078, Account Number 253522, Account Name: Overseas Relief and Aid. (please email: enquiries@anglicanaid.org.au to notify the office of your donation).

Cheques can be posted to – PO Box Q190, QVB Post Office, 1230, NSW.

For more information please call 1800 653 903. ABN 59 792 865 372. All donations to this appeal are tax deductible.

By His Grace alone,

David
