Community of Christ Sends Aid to People Devastated by Earthquake in Haiti
13 January 2010
The nation of Haiti experienced the devastating power of a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday, January 12. Apostle Bunda Chibwe, assigned to the Africa/Haiti Mission Field, had brief email contact with Haiti Mission Centre Financial Officer Michel Rosier late Tuesday evening.
“At this time Michel has not been able to assess the shelter, food, and clothing needs of the people or the damage to our churches and schools. We know the need and the damage is extensive, but we do not know specific details,” said Apostle Chibwe. "We will continue to share information about our brothers and sisters in Haiti as it becomes available."
This afternoon, Presiding Bishop Steve Jones announced that $25,000 from the church’s Oblation Fund will be donated to the Red Cross to offer immediate survival aid to the Haitian people. In addition, all contributions to the Oblation Fund between now and February 7, 2010 will be used for relief to Haiti. The situation will continue to be evaluated and additional funds will be made available as needed.
In the face of overwhelming events it is even more important that we stop and pray. Our prayers, joined with the prayers of our brothers and sisters around the world, provide a powerful support to the Haitian people. We will continue to pray for those who have lost family, friends, and homes, for those coming to the country to provide relief, search and rescue, medical attention, and other needs, and for the nation and its leaders as they begin to assess damage and look toward rebuilding.
Please add Haiti to your prayer list!
