A Heart for Haiti

Today we are all Haitians! We join our brothers and sisters who have been victimized by the devastating earthquake in Port-au-Prince. Thousands are dead and what little infrastructure that existed before the quake is demolished. Relief agencies and governments around the world are responding. How can you and I help?
We can pray! We can cry out Psalm 61:2 on behalf of the Haitian people:

Hear my cry, O God; Give heed to my prayer. From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

In addition to the Red Cross International we can give through the following Christian relief agencies (click on links below):
Samaritan's Purse
World Vision
Salvation Army Disaster Relief
NAMB Disaster Relief

We can give blood and plasma at our local blood bank. Blood is life and by donating you help keep the local, state, national and international supply going because international disasters drain the supply globally. For those in our area you can call The Blood Connection which serves Greenville and surrounding communities with multiple locations: (800) 392-6551 ext. 1029

"Holy Father, comfort the Haitian people today. Bring relief, aid and comfort as only You can. May those who grieve know that they do not grieve or mourn alone in their loss. Intercede as the Great Physician for the many who are wounded and injured. Give strength and tireless energy to the medical teams. Empower the relief agencies around the world who are in route and on the scene to provide aid. Prompt those of us far away to remember this disaster in our prayers and to give out of our abundance and safe circumstances. May Your church rise to a level of prayer, aid, help and witness that honors the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Grow the seeds of the gospel that are being sown through people who are being the hands of Christ on the ground. May you be glorified through all of this. In Jesus name we pray, Amen."
