Haiti

Hey everybody,

I’m sure you’re aware by now of the devastation that has happened in Haiti because of a recent earthquake. Before the earthquake they were the poorest nation in the western hemisphere from what I’ve heard, now the living conditions must be unimaginable!

We recently supported some missionaries who have an orphanage in Haiti. They are friends of Tom and Linda Buckle. As I talked with Linda this week about what we could do as a church, she knew that they were going to need financial resources to help those in need. Recently they dug a well for fresh water. They have the only fresh water in the area and are able to serve people through that tremendous resource. We know that there are going to be many people coming to them for help in the days ahead looking for food, water and shelter.

I believe we should do our part as a church to help in whatever way we can. Most of us can’t go over there right now and physically help, but what we can do is support those who have given their lives to that nation and are in a position on the ground to serve. I want to receive an offering this Sunday for our missionaries in Haiti. Please pray about what God would want you to do and what he would have you to give.

What an opportunity to share the compassion of Jesus! We are a small church but I believe we can make a BIG difference! Thanks in advance for being obedient to God!
