Death Toll Rises Again

The death toll caused by the Boxing Day tsunamis is now up around 29 000 with some commentators tipping the final count to be double that amount.

Added to this is the millions left homeless and living in terrible conditions. Disease is expected to spread quickly through the communities of surviviors.

Please continue to pray. Please continue to give toward rescue and aid efforts.

  • Hey Rodney,

    I just wrote you an email and it bounced…so here it is…

    Thanks for your post about the tidal wave I actually planned on doing my full reporting on it today because it’s such a huge tragedy and story.

    But I also wanted to cover the death of Reggie too – in fact, guess what, I posted some comments on a gay message board because they totally ripped him apart and a few of the guys that flamed me emailed me privately and told me that I changed their mind. God is working !

    Anyway, thanks for your sensitivity to this issue and know I haven’t forgotten it!

    Love,
    Stacy
