Each new day brings reports of increased suffering following Tropical Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar. More than 22,000 people have died, tens of thousands are missing, as many as one million may be homeless and much of the rice crop has been destroyed.
In response, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is making a special appeal for donations that can be given through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA). Our church’s generous gifts will help us stand with our brothers and sisters as their broken lives and communities begin to heal. Visit the PDA Web site to read updates, download the appeal card and contribute to the Myanmar relief effort by making a donation today.
Take note

PW carries on traditions from its predecessor organizations and has created new programs to answer current needs in the church and throughout the world.
