Haiti
Hello all,
What a difficult week of watching the stories unfold from the tragedy of Haiti. I’m watching this evening’s frustrating updates as I type. Together, we stand by watching with a great sense of helplessness yet knowing that we desire and need to do something.
I really want to encourage you to make your way to church this weekend. We have a full agenda, but part of our time will be spent praying for and talking about ways that we as a church can respond.
In the meantime, here’s just a few of our great partners that you should know about.
1. Healing Haiti – www.healinghaiti.org is a great organization that is started by and led by our faithful WB attenders. You can send support through a link on their site
2. Worldwide Village - http://www.worldwidevillage.org/ is also an organization started by one of our EBC attenders.
3. Feed My Starving Children – www.fmsc.org is an organization that we are partnering with to pack 2 million meals in February. I found out yesterday that the number one place that FMSC sends meals is to Haiti. What great news. Sign up to pack meals at http://needs.eaglebrookchurch.com/february/the68project.php. A video you can learn more about the food-packing project is right here. http://vimeo.com/8677815
4. World Vision – http://www.worldvision.org/ - is yet another partner that has been in Haiti for 30 years with 800 staff present.
Go to any of these sites to learn more about how you can help and stay updated on the latest news.
Again, we’ll talk about this more this weekend about what our plan is as a church.
Let’s stay faithful in our prayers for Haiti, for it’s leaders, for relief efforts, and for those in great crisis.
See you this weekend,
