Haiti Disaster Relief

As you all know by now, Haiti was hit by a devastating 7.0 earthquake on January 12th. It is difficult for them to access the casualties and damages, but some say that this catastrophe has possibly affected up to 3 million people. Even prior to the earthquake, Haiti ranked as one of the least developed countries in the world, and has an approximate population of 10 million, with most citizens living below $2 per day. Our ministry would like to give our community an opportunity to respond in prayer and giving.

I'm sure that you've heard in the news of different organizations that have emerged to take advantage of people during this time. It's truly difficult to know who you can trust and what organizations will maximize the funds for rescue and relief efforts in Haiti. That's why we are grateful for an opportunity to team up with One Days Wages, who is partnering with an organization who has a strong local presence in Haiti. 100% of your donations (minus c.c. transaction costs) go directly to the relief and rebuilding efforts in Haiti. What I appreciate most about ODW is their transparency.

This Sunday (January 17th), we will be praying for and collecting an offering for this relief fund, but you may also do that online as well, right now. We especially ask that you would share this with your family, friends and co-workers as others feel the urge to give but do not know who to give to. We know that maybe our one individual contribution might not make a difference, but collectively, we can do more together than we can ever do alone.

We ask that you would prayerfully consider donating (possibly one days wage) to the rescue and relief efforts in Haiti through ODW and that you would also ask those in your sphere of influence to consider as well. Please pray for the people of Haiti as they deal with a devastating earthquake in their city. And pray for those who minister to the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of those impacted by this earthquake.
