Haiti Update!

I want to give a great big shout out to our entire Sunset Chapel church family! This morning I reported on facebook that $2710.70 was received in our Sunday Haiti relief offering! Then I got word just before leaving the church office that an additional $850.00 came in through online giving! That's a combined total of $3560.70!! Thank you for your generosity! It's not to late to donate, you can go to sunsetchapel.com and make an online contribution on our homepage.

I also received a report today that Convoy of Hope has been able to establish 9 distribution points in Haiti thus far. Already 200,000 meals have been served. In addition to those numbers two mobile units are also distributing food and water where people can't reach help. Another 1 million pounds of food (25 containers) are on the way to Haiti.

One our SC attenders Melissa Edwards was able to fly with a surgical team from Jackson Memorial Hospital to Haiti today. She was able to text back to us that she landed at 4 pm and they have been assigned the task of performing countless surgeries and amputations in areas of Haiti where there have been no first responders available to meet the demanding medical needs. Please keep her and the entire team in your prayers as they try to save as many lives as possible.

Also, if you would be interested in joining a missions team that will travel to Haiti once rebuilding efforts are organized, please be sure to contact the church office and indicate your interest. Once it has been determined that teams can come in and do specific tasks we will arrange a meeting to discuss dates, costs, and fundraising ideas. If you don't yet have a passport I suggest that you work on obtaining one as soon as you can. I am so grateful to those who have already expressed a desire to be involved in this effort.

Keep praying for Haiti!!
