by Scott Ott
| THE FOLLOWING POST IS NOT SATIRE...
As of 8:45 p.m., December 29, ScrappleFace readers had used a PayPal link to contribute $5,200, up $2,119 from earlier in the day, to disaster relief for the victims of the earthquake/tsunami in South Asia. This total doesn't count contributions mailed by check, or made by credit card through aid agency sites. NEW TOTAL: As of 2 p.m., December 30, PayPal contributions through the Bible Fellowship Church Board of Missions reached $7,700. UPDATE: Just received a note from a ScrappleFace reader who said she had just mailed a check for $1,000 to SBC Disaster Relief. (Box 6767, Richmond, VA 23233). Note to self...sometimes God still works through snailmail. [8:15 a.m., 12/30/2004] UPDATE II: In recent minutes, two ScrappleFace readers have reported direct-to-agency contributions totaling $150 more, including one to Samaritan's Purse. There are likely many more. Soli Deo Gloria. [9:04 a.m., 12/30/2004] With the death toll now placed above 100,000, please join millions of Americans in showing the love of Christ to the survivors: PayPal contributions, collected by the Bible Fellowship Church Board of Missions, will go to an effective evangelical Christian disaster relief agency like Samaritan's Purse or Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. This PayPal button was set up for the convenience of people who don't want to use credit card or check to make direct payments to these agencies. More information, including a snail mail address for checks, is available here. |
