It’s all over the news, but it takes more than watching things from a distance to really bring help and hope to the people of Haiti. We may not all be able to go in person and bring the relief and rescue that they so desperately need, but we can all pull together and join an organization that is in Haiti doing what needs to be done and bringing the practical everyday relief as well as the light of Christ to the hopeless.
Here’s what we can do together:
Pray
- People need to get the help they need as quickly as possible.
- Survivors need to be shown the compassion and love of Christ.
- Volunteers need wisdom and safety.
- This Sunday January 24, 2010 we are taking a huge leap of faith. We will join with the other venues of City Church to raise a large amount of money for the organization, Operation Compassion, that we are going to partner with to help Haiti.
- We are asking everyone to give what he or she can. This will take more than the standard $10 gift that people are texting in all over the country. We are trying to raise $30,000.00. Operation Compassion can ship a container full of supplies to Haiti for $3,000.00. We want to send ten of these containers to help the people of Haiti. I know that if everyone gives out of the generosity of their heart- no gift is too small or too large- it’s when the people of Christ all pull together and then with our faith and trust in the One who owns it all takes our humble gifts and does a miracle!
- Please consider contributing financially to help the rescue work that is happening around the clock. Again Ethos/City Church is partnering with Operation Compassion; we can make a huge dent in what needs to be done if we can all do our part. Please join Mande and me with your prayers and financial gift to bring help and hope to this nation.
