Churches Helping Churches Update

We would encourage you to continue to support the effort of churches to help the churches in Haiti to rebuild and continue to press forward with their call to preach the Word, exalt Christ, evangelize their country, etc. 

And please know that this is not just Harvest churches nor is it just churches from the US or Canada but is becoming a global effort with churches from many countries now joining.  As of the middle of January over 100 churches have joined.  

Just the first Sunday of this effort to help over $630,000 was raised to help and many, many more churches have yet to take up offerings which will be happening in the weeks to come.

The good news is that James MacDonald and Mark Driscoll along with a medical team, a security team and a video/photo team were on ground in Haiti January 18th and 19th to assess the churches needs first hand and to ensure that our efforts will not be wasted nor misused.

A Haitian Seminary worker (living in Haiti) is being employed full-time as one who knows first hand which churches are faithful to the Word and which are sold-out in advancing the kingdom.  He will help www.churcheshelpingchurches.com direct their resources and efforts where most needed to help the church in Haiti rebuild. 

So please consider joining this important and what will be an ongoing partnership for months and years to come.  You don't have to give for years but our goal is to not forget when the next news headlines hit.  

Below is a video by the team which went to check out the need and you can click on the following to learn more - click HERE
