WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP IN HAITI:

Southern Baptists are mobilizing to assess disaster relief needs after the largest earthquake in more than 200 years rocked Haiti the evening of Jan. 12. The 7.0 magnitude tremor hit 10 miles from the center of Port-au-Prince, a city of 3 million people, at around 5 p.m., according to news reports. The earthquake triggered a tsunami watch for Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Cuba.

Southern Baptists are working with the Florida Baptist Convention to coordinate disaster  relief.  Right now what is needed are donations.  You can be assured that 100% of disaster relief designated offerings given though FCBC will be directed to our state office who will make sure that 100% of monies received will be directed to the Florida Baptist Convention, 100% of which will be used to help the people in Haiti.  Or you can contribute direct to the disaster response effort at gobgr.org.

DONATE TO HAITI EARTHQUAKE RELIEF

The North American Mission Board’s disaster relief office is organizing an emergency consultation with state disaster relief directors to coordinate response to the catastrophe, Brown said. Disaster relief teams in Mississippi and Kentucky are on standby for immediate response.  Apart from donating to the disaster relief effort via gobgr.org, you can help greatly by joining in focused prayer for Haiti’s 9 million people, more than 80 percent of whom live below the poverty line, said David Brown.“Please pray for us as we assess and monitor the situation in Haiti after the 7.0 earthquake and subsequent aftershocks this evening,” Brown said. “The initial information indicates 2 million people in Port-au-Prince are directly affected. Please pray for victims and their families. Pray for wisdom as responses are initiated.”
