Divine Mentor's/Haiti Earthquake Response


Don't miss our current teaching series "Divine Mentor's". During tomorrow's second message we'll be looking at the life of Nehemiah and his "Call to the Wall". Nehemiah found his passion and calling after a visit from his brother. That conversation changed his life and allowed him to discover his life purpose. Yet his response to God's call to rebuild the ruined wall's of Jerusalem came as a result of Israel's sin.

Sin's influence and involvement in our lives also produces destruction and ruin. What wall's in your heart and life need to be rebuilt? As a Christ-follower, come and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal area's that you may need to rebuild in your own life and be able to avoid hurtful consequences.

As reports of Haiti's devastation continue to overwhelm us, the numbers are still inconclusive as to how many death's have actually occurred. It's very possible that over 3 million people are directly affected by this natural disaster. Haiti has long beenconsidered the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere.

Our fellowship has 273 churches there with over 66,000 members who like so many are dazed, in shock and struggling to make sense of everything. The needs are so great, I am appealing to our people at Sunset Chapel to consider either making an online donation on our website homepage or come prepared to make a contribution during this weekend's service. We will be supporting two ministries "Convoy of Hope" and "Latin America Child Care", both of these ministries are currently in Haiti doing all they can to assist the Haitian people.

Let me say thank you in advance for your prayer's and response that will come to help this nation as they try to recover from this great tragedy. We will assess future needs and consider becoming involved in sending a mission's team of volunteer's once we hear that our missionaries and these organizations are prepared for this to occur.
