At the moment our leaders within the crisis response ministry and the southeastern district of the EFCA are going to try (God willing) to get into Haiti Sunday to make contact with our ministry partners already on the ground. The situation is unstable at best as the entire infrastructure of Haiti is compromised.
TouchGlobal Crisis Response Ministry is a long term recovery ministry and we are formulating what type of response would best suit the needs of the Haitian people. Once a secure base can be established in Haiti, we will be sending teams to help in the long term recovery efforts and more importantly, to show the love of Christ to those in need through the holistic healing of His people.
The most current need right now is funding to support the efforts to establish a base of operations to send teams. Our warehouse in Covington, LA will begin accepting bulk donations when the determination has been made as to what is needed most and a viable method of transportation has been established.
Please be in prayer for our leaders as they also pray for God’s wisdom and discernment on how best to serve His children in Haiti.
We are urging everyone to get the word out about the situation in Haiti through email contact lists, facebook accounts, etc. Money can be donated online at the www.efca.org website with the memo line designating the earthquake relief fund #3970. Please also visit http://efcacrisisresponse.blogspot.com to get the most up to date information from our director.
I can add your contact information to our database that has been established if you want to be kept up-to-date on what we're doing. Please stay posted to the website and continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Haiti.
We will contact you as soon as it is a plan has been developed to send teams of volunteers to help in Haiti.
In Christ –
