Christian artists are reaching out in various ways to help tsunami victims.

The Gospel Music Association (GMA) has established Project Restore, an Asian tsunami awareness, prayer and fund-raising effort in coordination with World Vision.

Project Restore will focus its initial efforts on the tsunami disaster but will remain the industry's official crisis-response vehicle in the future. Artists who will lend their support to Project Restore include Steven Curtis Chapman, Third Day, CeCe Winans, Kirk Franklin and Casting Crowns. A complete list of artists supporting Project Restore and details related to concerts will be included and updated at www.ProjectRestore.org.

"A Wave of Love: Christians Respond to the South Asia Crisis" is a relief campaign recently started to bring together Christian charities, artists, radio stations, and record companies to use their voices to help raise money for victims. The campaign will include radio announcements, a Web site, an Internet campaign and a possible television program to send out a call to Christians to respond to the southern Asia crisis, said Christopher Redner, campaign director.
