Submitted by Romayne on Thu, 2009-06-11 12:40The international director of the World Evangelical Alliance is calling on Christians worldwide to support the Sri Lankan Christian community in their efforts to meet the desperate needs of thousands in the conflict-ravaged country.
According to reports, around 300,000 displaced people – including 90,000 children – are in desperate need of food, medical assistance and other basic needs in the aftermath of a 26-year-long conflict between the Sri Lankan government and a separatist terrorist group that ended last month.

But you can still spot the supermarket giveaway -- the floor is that same industrial white linoleum.
