Pain into Purpose! - Haiti Relief

In response to yesterday's devastating earthquake in Haiti, I want to encourage everyone possible to first pray.

Please consider joining with us for tonight's Prayer Service as we direct our thoughts and prayers towards this impoverished and hurting nation. Many of our families who attend Sunset Chapel will be in attendance and will bring us first-hand reports from their families living in Haiti. In the midst of this stunning devastation, God is able to accomplish much.

As the nation and people struggle to regain their bearings and balance, aid and recovery efforts are well underway from a variety of sources. Would you consider making a contribution to help assist those who are on the ground and fully engaged in the extensive humanitarian and recovery efforts.

Two such organizations are "Convoy of Hope", which provides emergency services, medical care, food, water, temporary tent shelters, and blankets. The second is "Latin America Child Care", which has several schools in the affected areas and who is frantically trying to assist the children and families that have been affected by this disaster.

I have already authorized an initial contribution to be forwarded to these organizations. We will receive a humanitarian aid offering in our Sunday morning service. You can go to our homepage and click on our online giving icon,then select "other", designate your contribution amount, and then type in "Haiti" in the box. If you've not already used this feature, you will be prompted through the process to be able to utilize this giving resource. If you have any further questions, please contact Frances Watkins at 305-271-4094 ext. 102 and she will assist you with your requests.
