How to help bushfire victims

The Bible tells us to help the poor and needy and there are plenty of people who have lost everything due to the bushfires in Australia. As a tween or teen you may not feel that you can do much to help the victims of the bushfires but if we all do something small, it adds up to something big. Money is the most useful thing you can give but you probably don't have much of that. Above are some ideas how you can raise some $$$ then donate them to one of the following charities who are providing relief to victims of the bushfires. Make sure you ask your parents first. 
Red Cross
Salvation Army
Vinnies

It's that time of year again to pack a shoe box for an underprivileged child. Check out the Samaritan's Purse website for drop off points.

The Bible says, Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow (Isaiah 1:17). One way you can do this is by shopping ethically. The 2018 Ethical Fashion Guide is out. You can download a copy here. The guide lists brands available in Australia and rates them according to whether the products they sell have been made by labourers who are children, forced or exploited (not paid enough money to live on). Here are some of the companies that scored a B or above:
ASOS
Bonds
Cotton On
Factorie
Industrie
K-Mart
Lee
Rip Curl
​Target.

God places a huge emphasis on helping the poor, sick, imprisoned and oppressed in the Bible. Isaiah 1:17 (above) is just one example. You might not think you can do much but here are some practical ways you can help those in need, even though you're still in high school:
  • volunteer at a soup kitchen
  • volunteer at a charity store (you can volunteer at Salvos if you are 15)
  • donate some of your clothes, books and toys to charity
  • help a neighbour in the garden
  • babysit a single mum's kids for free while she gets groceries
  • spend time with an unpopular student at school
  • go on a church mission trip
  • donate some of your allowance or pay to charity
Pray and ask God to show you ways you can help the poor. He will definitely give you opportunities. I was walking down a busy street this weekend when God told me to give a guy some money.

World Vision, Compassion and TEAR are Christian Aid organisations working around the world in areas of extreme poverty. You may not have enough money to sponsor a child, but perhaps you can organise a fundraiser and donate the money to one of these organisations. $50 will help three people access clean water and $200 will provide immunisations for 200 babies.

Here are some fundraising ideas:
  • Cake stall
  • Lemonade stand
  • Craft stall
  • Dog washing
  • Babysitting
  • Car wash
  • Fun Run, dance-a-thon etc.
