Opportunities To Support Haiti


Everyone is probably well aware of the recent earthquake and Haiti, and all of the lives that have been effected. Let's all continue to be in prayer for the thousands of families that have been effected by this event. Let's also be lifting up the Church in Haiti, and the many relief and development agencies that will be serving there around the clock in the coming days and weeks. Pray that God would strengthen their hands and empower them as they work, serve, love, and be present in the name of Christ. Let's pray that God would somehow use this tragedy to draw people to Himself!

I would also like to challenge everyone to give towards the relief and development efforts. Here are some ministries/organizations that will be responding in the aftermath of the earthquake:
1) World Vision
2) Samaritan's Purse
3) Food For The Hungry


If I learn of any other ministries/organizations that are doing ongoing work in Haiti, I will share them ASAP.

Update:
Another organization that I just learned of this morning is called Yele Haiti. The musical artist Wyclef Jean started this organization in 2005, and they are doing ongoing community development work in Haiti. They are receiving donations to aid the victims as well.
