Southern Baptist repond to quake victims

Iran (MNN)–After an earthquake killed thousands in Bam, Iran, Southern Baptists are responding. A volunteer team of Southern Baptist men is heading to Iran, ready to meet physical needs.

These men have worked in crisis situations before. Most of them have served together in locations as distant as Venezuela and as close to home as Ground Zero in New York City. When the call came for relief in Iran, they were scheduling flights and packing bags within a few hours.

They are asking others to pray that God will keep them safe, enable them to meet people’s needs and give peace to their families left in the United States.
