Hearts for Haiti

You've most likely heard or seen about the crisis in Haiti.

Know that God did not cause this event or want it to happen.  His heart is broken and hurting.   Natural disasters, wars, famine, etc. are the result of a fallen creation that is reeling in chaos and destruction.  We know that Jesus came to save us from our fallen state and that through our faith in Him we are saved, born again and a new creation.  We are now his children, co-heirs in Christ, remaining in the midst of this chaos and destruction to bring the light, life, and love of Jesus!  May we continue to join together to be God's hands and feet on earth.  May our hearts be moved to compassion and action that the nation of Haiti may see the light, life, and love that is Jesus.

How can we act/respond?

• We can pray on our own (in your car, at home, anywhere) and together (we are gathering this Saturday at 7:00pm for a night of prayer and we will include Haiti).
• We can give this Sunday you can make a donation to Foursquare's relief work in Haiti (simply designate your donation and the entire funds will be forwarded to the work in Haiti).  Giving and helping through the local church in Haiti is often more effective because our churches there already have understanding of what is needed and a relationship with the people (both now and in the years to come).
  
• We can go to the land and help.  Foursquare is in the process of organizing teams that will be going to help immediately as well as in the weeks and months to come.  If you are interested, please talk to me (clint@missionfoursquare.com).
  

Foursquare has seven churches and an orphanage (plus many other works/ministries) in Haiti and Foursquare Missions has begun communicating with the church leaders on the ground.
