Haiti Earthquake Relief

Last Sunday, our church took up a special collection for the Haiti earthquake relief. The money collected was sent to the denominational headquarters, that is collecting it to forward on to CWS (Church World Service) to send to Haiti. Our denomination is small, and we have no denominational presence in Haiti at this time, so it is necessary to rely on other agencies.

Some of our local church people support other agencies privately that also do excellent relief work. We have some who support two excellent Christian groups, Samaritan's Purse and Convoy of Hope, both of which have a continuous presence in Haiti. Convoy of Hope is based out of Springfield and fights poverty worldwide. I think some among us also support Compassion, Red Cross and World Vision. We are a mission minded people.

The people of Haiti are in our prayers.
