Haiti Relief Donations
Posted by Pastor Kye
When the news hit on January 12th that Haiti had a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake, we knew that we needed to respond as a church. As there were so many organizations that were starting Haiti Relief funds, we prayerfully found a great organization called OneDaysWages. They are an organization that raises awareness and funds and partners with great existing organizations. The thing that we really liked about them was their transparency. As we began to talk with them the day after the earthquake, they were able to setup a page for us so that our community could raise relief funds for Haiti. We encourage people to use this link to not only donate themselves but to share the link with others, as people don’t know which organizations to trust during this time.
We have been blown away by the response of people giving generously for the tragedy in Haiti. So far, we’ve raised over $3000 and we’re praying that it doesn’t stop there. Please continue to pray for and share this opportunity to respond.
One more thing … as the news of Haiti will soon disappear from the headlines of CNN and newspapers, it will be even more important to pray and give. About 6 years ago, when the Indian Ocean tsunami hit, I wrote a blog post that is just as relevant today as it was then in regards to donations and relief/rebuilding efforts. Read it … continue to pray and give and don’t let your heart become apathetic to the needs of the people of God.
