I was asking questions and offering precious little in the way of answers the other day. One of the questions was "What is the best way for us to help [Christians and others who have been held hostage in Islamic lands]?" And Mike has an answer: support CNEWA.
So there you go:
““Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
(Matt 7:7 RSV)
