An overwhelming number of you have asked what you can continue to do to help Haiti, and for that, we praise God. This devastating earthquake is the worst the region has seen in centuries. Your response, compassion and zeal to serve is hope-inducing and encouraging! God is clearly at work. As more and more opportunities arise, we will be sure to keep you informed.
In the meantime, we want to make you aware of the following:

The Haiti Orphan Initiative
Prior to the Haitian earthquake, there were 380,000 orphans already in orphanages and group homes. The earthquake has added tens of thousands more. Together for Adoption has started a ministry to tackle this: a church-centered initiative to serve the needs of Haiti’s orphans.
Free Wheelchair Mission – a local ministry
I’m told the guy who started this rad ministry is a member at a local church. The ministry’s vision is to provide 20 million people in third world countries—who would otherwise sit in bed for the rest of their lives—an off-road wheelchair. So far Free Wheelchair Mission has successfully placed 436,000 wheelchairs all throughout the world. Naturally, their next stop is Haiti. Visit their website to find out how you can donate your resources or volunteer your time. They are located in Irvine, CA. (HT: David Hughes)
“Let hope rise and darkness tremble in your Holy Light” -Hillsong
But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:17-18)
