And, I'll link to as many as I can find who present an Asian American voice, even though my experience with many Asian pastors is that they speak from a generic plain vanilla-white voice instead of a contextualized voice. There is much stronger Christian witness and presence on the Virginia Tech campus than when I was there 20 years ago. There is now a group called vtONE http://www.vt-one.org.vt.edu/ -- an organization with a vision to unite the body of Christ at Tech in worship, prayer, and repentance, along with a campus church http://www.nlcf.net/, and more. See the <a href=http://www.vt-one.org.vt.edu/?p=113 rel="nofollow">vtONE website</a> for a list of specific prayer requests. I'll be writing more about implications of this Monday's tragedy after Sunday, this is a week to mourn along with the victim's families and friends.

I'm not sure what really can be done, but any way we might be of help.
