Disaster Relief for Haiti

Please pray for the country of Haiti which suffered the impact of a 7.3 point earthquake this week. The PCA's Mission to the World is collecting financial donations for relief of those impacted by the devastating earthquake. "Minutemen for Missions" is set up to provide disaster response and it has people at the scene who are working with local pastors and missionaries known to them to ensure that the funds are used to address the acute needs that exist.

MTW Haitian missionary Esaie Etienne and his family are unharmed, although their home sustained damage. PMH (Presbyterian Mission of Haiti) partner Charles Amicy and his family, along with a visiting mission team, are also unharmed. Octavious, a Haitian pastor and MTW affiliate, and his son Carlens are both seriously injured. We have no further details at this time except that they are seeking medical treatment in Port-au-Prince. MTW is working with the OPC and Pastors Etienne and Amicy to respond to this crisis. More information is available.

If you would like to donate toward these relief efforts go to the MTW page for project number 93992. Funds will be extended in the name of Christ and accompanied by the gospel, both in word and deed. May the Lord's mercy be evident through the gifts and prayers of his people.
