We are all praying for the people of Haiti. Our ministry has a number of contacts in Haiti — ministries with which we have worked. We are reaching out to them now to see how we can help. We are receiving a special offering for Haiti.
The Christian thing to do at a time like this is always to reach out with compassion. An earthquake is a strange thing. It could hit any of us anywhere at any time. We need to show special compassion for our friends in Haiti.
It is not widely known, but the Southern Baptist relief agency is the second largest agency in the world next to the Red Cross. Our people are on the ground in Haiti. Here in Florida, our Florida Baptist Children’s Homes are taking in 200 children from Haiti in the Orlando area alone, plus another 50 in Miami. Our organized system of help is working well. We thank God for those who are serving and giving sacrificially to enable us to reach out to a very needy people at a time like this.
I know you will join us in our prayers for the people of Haiti.
