Haiti

I don't know how many of you have been following the news coverage of Haiti, but they are completely devastated. I know it's so easy to just kind of overlook what's going on, because we are unaffected by it personally. I have been so guilty of this when tragedies occur around the world. Of course we have to continue on with our lives, but there are things we can do!

Most importantly, we can PRAY!

Jason and I sponsor a child through Compassion International, and we received an email from them yesterday. Here is what they said:

The catastrophic earthquake that hit Haiti yesterday has resulted in unfathomable chaos and devastation for hundreds of thousands of children and families.


Compassion sponsors and donors serve more than 65,000 children in Haiti. At least a third of them live in the areas that were hardest hit.

I am asking you to please send a generous gift today to help these precious children and their families.


We are working rapidly to assess the situation and determine the full extent of damage:

• Sadly, we anticipate there will be many deaths.
• We anticipate thousands of children and families will have lost everything.
• We anticipate many of our church-based child development centers will have been destroyed.

Without a doubt, the children we serve in Haiti are in shock and face immediate needs for food, water, medical care, shelter and counseling. We have teams prepared to respond, and we are deeply committed to helping each child.


We need your donation today. Please reach out in the name of Jesus to bring relief, comfort, love and restoration to precious children and families whose lives have been devastated by this crisis.


Thank you for caring,

Dr. Wess Stafford
President, USA
