Well, the news of the week has continued to focus–and rightly so–on the devastation in Haiti. The 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit the impoverished island nation almost two weeks ago, followed by the 6.1 earthquake on Wednesday this week has left, by most estimates, well over 100,000 dead, 250,000 wounded and a million homeless (USA Today estimates). If you have not seen what…watch this. Be warned in advance! The brutal reality of this video from CBS, which was posted last Sunday, is graphic.
For those who want to know how to help, there are many sources. Our own ministry organizations are encouraging contributors to give via any of the following ministries: the Florida Baptist Convention, in partnership with the 890 churches and population of Haiti over many years, the International Mission Board, or Baptist Global Response, the disaster relief/human needs arm of IMB. In addition, there is the Red Cross, World Vision, etc. Regardless of how you help, please give AND pray for the people of Haiti.
