Haiti Relief
| 17 January 2010
The earthquake that struck Haiti earlier this month has been overwhelming and shocking to say the least. As the Body of Christ, the Church across the world is jumping to the task of bringing relief efforts to this devastated nation. In addition to sending our prayers overseas, we would encourage you to financially support the relief efforts.
To contribute immediately, simply text the word "HAITI" to 90999 and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross (charged to your cell phone bill).
We would also encourage donations to World Relief Canada via their website at www.wrcanada.org/donate. If you donate to WR Canada anytime from now until February 12, 2010, be sure to mark your donation for Haiti Earthquake Relief and the Government of Canada will match each individual donation dollar for dollar up to $50 million.
"Many Canadians are deeply concerned about the suffering and loss of life as a result of this catastrophe in Haiti," said Minister Beverly Oda. "Canadian citizens have shown time and again their generosity with countries in urgent need, and our government is prepared to match their contributions dollar for dollar."
There is also a growing Christian population in Haiti as it has been a popular destination in recent years for missionaries. These new Christians in particular need our prayers as this kind of catastrophe will be very challenging to their faith. May God sustain them during this time.
Thank you to all who are supporting the Haiti people.
