John Brady: We have a single, clear opportunity to help 9 million forcibly displaced people in Syria and Iraq, but the relief work is hampered by a lack of support. Southern Baptists hearts have not been moved, Brady lamented. Only $300,000 has been given to BGR for relief in Syria and Iraq. Christians, Yazidis and many others have been swept out of their villages and are clinging to life in these camps. And in every hovel, we have a chance to make a difference -- not tomorrow, today. There are local brothers and sisters that I personally know on the ground there who have chosen not to leave, and they just want to know that were going to stand with them, Brady said. One of my friends told me, Ask the Christians of the West, have they forgotten us? I want to answer, No, we have not. To help, visit gobgr.org or text BGR to 80888, which donates $10 to BGRs disaster response fund. (Terms: igfn.org/t)
