HAITI
In Haiti, Samaritan’s Purse is working non-stop to help survivors of the catastrophic Jan. 12 earthquake. This has been the most massive relief project in the history of Samaritan’s Purse. We thank God for providing resources and opening the doors for help to be delivered into the crippled country. We praise God for what He is doing through Samaritan’s Purse to meet physical and spiritual needs of the people in Haiti. Our prayers and support make a difference. Continue to lift up the teams on the ground. They need Gods strength and wisdom as they help and minister to those who have lost everything.
They have provided makeshift homes, have reopened a clinic at one of the largest churches in Cite Soleil where over 1,500 survivors have been treated, and 250 tons of rice and other staples have been handed out to thousands of families with focus on mothers and other women. Food has also been delivered to over 40 orphanages. A water filtration system has been set up at 10 locations, providing more than 20,000 people with clean drinking water. All efforts are ongoing.
“On their behalf, I want to personally thank you for supporting our relief work in Haiti and tell you how gifts like yours are saving lives and meeting needs in the Name of Jesus Christ. Thank you again for the generosity and compassion you have shown to the people of Haiti. May God bless you.” Franklin Graham, President, Samaritan’s Purse

Two of our very own, Pastor Paul Taylor and Dr. Alan McBride, are joining a team bound for Haiti through One Heart Missions International. All outreaches combine ministry with all their medical and feeding programs. One task the team has been challenged with is feeding the people in the area they serve. If they gather all the resources, they would like to feed 20,000 people. They would also like to feed the 1000 children that will be visited at the orphanage. This means we have another giving opportunity as a church. The Haiti team would like to raise a total of $5,000-10,000 to reach this goal. 100% of the funds will be used for the food program. The deadline for raising the money is March 1, 2010. All gifts are tax deductible. Make checks payable to MSC with “Haiti Food Program” in the memo line.
