ok. a little more never hurt.

thank YOU. you're up to $2. keep writing the good fight. :)

I love this collective effort! Keep up the good work.

What a valiant thing to do. God be with you.

What you are doing is great and all, but this seems like something you guys are doing for more hits (whether you are really donating or not) You seem like someone who God has really blessed. But lets say you were willing to give $1000, why wait for 1000 posts just give it now. Your blog is not something that is spreading the word of God, it's just talking about the horrific destruction in the mid east.
Alls Im saying is if you'd be willing to donate a dollar for so many posts why not just give the money on your own and not make such a big deal out of it. Yes we should help out each other but you guys seem to be looking for attention here

Stefan,

Interesting comments. First of all, we don't really need the attention here. We never ever send out any sort of soliciting emails, which is what we would have done if we really needed attention. We're happy with the amount of hits we get every day. Secondly, this is an attempt to make it a collective effort. If you researched Blog Quake Day a little more, you would understand that it is designed to make everyone spread the word about Earthquake relief, which is sorely lacking. That's what we're doing right now. If you go to desipundit.com you will see what exactly I'm talking about. There are a huge group of people in my contact list who haven't donated. Perhaps this post here will spur them to donate more. And spreading the word of God isn't just about throwing Bible verses out there, its also about spreading the love of God through our actions. As you can tell, I'm a bit peeved by your comment. And oh btw, you and I just put two more dollars into the Quake fund. Have a good day.

hey thanks a lot for doing this cruz & zimbally malu..our prayers are with them.

Admirable job boys, my appreciation to zimbly.

Those of us who read Dippu daily know that you do not do this for attention.

Also quick prayer request: I have recieved word that in North India the anti-christian movement have stepped up agression against missionaries. They have recruited thousands of young men, formed violent gangs and armed them with machetes and ordered them to torture anyone involved in converting to Christianity especially the new converts.
May God strengthen those suffering for His name. Please hold them in your prayers!

Pastor S.Thomas

Pastor S.,
Can you email me with some more information about what's happening in North India?

Its a great thing you are doing. We all need to step out of our comfort zones and do what the Lord has called us to do.

Daycruz, I do not know much more than that it is happening mainly in Orissa, and that the RSS groups are involved, that is all the info I know.
I know some of you might have relatives there, I would urge you to ask them for more finite details. God will protect them under His mighty wings.

With prayer

Pastor ... I do not intend to take the seriousness out of the prayer issue you just brought to our attention ... but Orissa does not come in "North" India (just wanted to correct it)

it's good to know that people believe in the concept of "human community"

I realize that Bj, but coming from Kerala which is in the south, usually I catogorize everything above Kerala as North. It is more of eastern India.

Nevertheless you are right, Orissa is near the Bay of Bengal above Andhra Pradesh. You kids know the map better then me, so I will not explain further. That state has endured many great tidal wave disasters and if you are familiar with the Rourkala area you know that it is very hostile to Christianity.

Sorry about that folks, should have made myself more clear

Pastor S. Thomas

u r zimbly rite...I am definitely in.

You've made me realize one thing; everyone can do something. Posting a comment on someone's blog seems like a miniscule task but the dollar donated for every comment makes the difference. Thanks to Zimbly Mallu for the donations and thanks to my cousin, Decruz.
*Hey Dikku, you're one great guy! Dad always said you were special and now I agree more with him. Love you loads, achu*

Thank you for the reminder that we all can be of some help,no matter how great or small the degree is that we feel called to contribute.

if all i hafta do to add a $ the fund is make a comment, thas zimble enuf. awesome effort guys. those people are gonna need all the help they can get. ~ onedesi

God bless.
