Natural Disasters Have Quadrupled
According to research by Oxfam International, natural disasters have quadrupled over the past two decades. They blame global warming. The world now encounters about 500 natural disasters each year.
Jeremy Hobbs of Oxfam International believes that humanitarian assistance will be overwhelmed in the future if organizations do not begin preparing now. Disaster relief is a great opportunity for churches to help the hurting world. There will always be natural disasters, and setting aside funds to aid such crisises is something worth considering.
