Hi Cheryl,

Thank you for your personal invitation and for allowing this Thread to be used as a gathering point for the support for the desperate people of Haiti.

As you may know, my main Church affiliation is Lutheran, and through Lutheran Family Services, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, ongoing support is being funneled to Haiti. ELCA has partnered with relief and government agencies that are mobilizing to provide aid and assessment to the area. Anyone who cares to donate can securely do so by clicking here Give Now.

That such a tragedy should strike a country already suffering from abject poverty and political unrest, is beyond our ablity to understand. We must join hands in Prayer that He wil show us the way.

Loving God, in the communion of Christ, we are joined as Brothers & Sisters, with the trials and sufferings of all. Be with all of those who endure the effects of the earthquake in Haiti, protect those in the path of danger, comfort those who mourn the loss of loved ones because of the earthquake, shine Your light on those whose only companion is darkness, open the pathway of evacuations. help loved ones find one another in the chaos, provide assistance to those who need help, and ease the fears of all, as You make your presence known in the stillness of Your peace, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

May God Grant Us His Peace,

Phil

Hi Cheryl,
Once again we are called on to support souls in tremendous need. It is proving the need to follow the words of the scriptures to pray and never let up. These lovely Haitians have been called the poorest of the poor and their plight speaks to our hearts. The response has been heartwarming and they will need help for many, many years to come.
Thank you for helping.

Hi Sam,

Thanks a bunch for dropping by and showing your support for the Haiti relief efforts. Such overwhelming need and everything we can do to help is so important to those who need it. God sees our actions and even when we give secretly, He sees it all and knows our hearts concern and desire to help. I appreciate you putting the info on your forum post.

God bless you!

Cheryl

Hi David,

Thanks Phil,

I'm glad to have you share about Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. The main thing for us to know is that we can give and know that the funds are being used in the way they were meant to be used. Thanks for providing more info about your church and how to give through them.

Take care,

Cheryl
