Ok,
No_Outcome_But_Victory brought up a good point on an earlier thread. Lets set up a list of some charity organizations that are sending relief to the victums of the Christmas earthquake.
I have a few here. Of course the Red Cross
www.redcross.org
This is the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod page for emergency relief. I think that they are updating as more gets organized.
http://www.lcms.org/pages/internal.asp?NavID=1872
I know that there are many others.
Salvation mentioned a Father Emerito that does mission activities in the area, but I don't have a good link for him
If anyone knows of a place to donate money, food, or any other supplies, please post on the thread.
The LCMS finally got a good donation site.
http://www.lcms.org/pages/internal.asp?NavID=7270
Thanks everyone so far! Keep it up!
Do the Orthodox have some relief organizations that can be listed?
No. So much logic! Many nations in this area are run by Muslim extremists. Sending money to these "victims" would be like sending money to Sunni Triangle insurgent leaders. There is a good chance a lare portion of charity to these nations will go to by weapons to kill Americans.
The thugs run these countries--innocent people do not. Who do you think will receive the money? Innocent people or thugs? Who is in control of these contries? Innocent people or thugs?
From the Presbyterian Church in America:

Asia Tsunami Disaster Relief
Thanks to those of you who have inquired about the PCA's response to the unimaginable disaster in Asia. Response to this tragedy is being called the largest disaster relief response in the history of the world. PCA churches and members have always been faithful to help in such times, and Mission to the World is now facilitating a response to aid Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
You can help in three ways:
1. PRAY. Pray for the physical and emotional needs of those millions of affected people, and most of all for their spiritual response to the Lord through both the witness of our people and the direct work of the Holy Spirit in their hearts.
2. GIVE. We will issue a Minuteman appeal to raise funds. You may contribute now by donating online, by phone, or by sending a check (see below). Relief funds will be immediately advanced to our contacts on the field, even before Minuteman contributions reach us.
3. GO. We will send disaster relief teams. Field personnel are now working with nationals to determine where and how we can best help. For more information, please contact Hope Williams at hwilliams@mtw.org or 678-823-0004 ext. 362.
Donate online, or call toll-free 866-373-6133 for a credit card donation.
Please make checks out to MTW and designate "Asia Relief" on the memo line. Thank you!

THANK YOU!
Thanks for an excellent list. Americares does some great work, and has been supported by President Bush 43 and Barbara Bush, who I believe is on the board.
I donate to Catholic Relief services monthly cause they run a good charity...and I understand they are among those who are responding to this.
Some may wish to consider giving to Samaritan's Purse run by Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham.
http://www.samaritanspurse.org/home.asp
(FYI, for your Blog also, Knitting.)
Someone just sent me an email about that one! Going to go add it to my master list now!
I can recommend Samaritan's Purse (run by Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son, and one of the few organizations that has been in Sudan during the past few years directly helping the victims of the massacres there).
