Japan Relief Efforts
As we've all become aware of the needs of the people of Japan following their horrific disaster and continuing concerns for their safety, there are several things we can do to help.  This is from the CBF ChurchWorks newsletter:

As the tragedy unfolds in Japan following a major earthquake and tsunami, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship is channeling its response through its ministry partners around the world, including the Japan Baptist Convention and Asia Baptist Pacific Aid.  Right now the best way for you to respond is by giving financially to the reilef and recovery effort.  Donations can also be mailed to: Japan relief account #17019, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, 2930 Flowers Road South, #133, Atlanta, GA 30341.  The Fellowship does not have field personnel in Japan, but our thought and prayers are with our brothers and sisters of the Japan Baptist Convention as they respond to this devastating event.  You can also keep up-to-date on the latest news from Japan on CBF's blog (cbfportal.wordpress.com).

You can also give to Japan relief efforts through Baptist World Aid, the relief arm of the Baptist World Alliance.  Their donation website is:  www.bwanet.org/bwa.php?site=general&id=4
