EVERYONE can help Haiti!

Praise God, we are almost here!...kickoff day. On Sunday, Feb. 14th, we will have a table set up before and after the church services with information regarding our Haiti Relief efforts.

Our main focus is shelter (and baby supplies*). There are thousands of people without housing, especially dry housing and the rainy season usually starts in May. Locally, I found we can bring shelter to a family of four for $70. (At Walmart - tent $54, tarp $12. At Dollar Tree - 4 ponchos for $4.00) I personally can't imagine trying to keep your family and yourself healthy amidst ongoing rains - with no shelter!

We will be shipping the items to one of our partner organizations, Caribbean Vision Ministries(CVM), in Florida. They are collecting items to fill containers and ship directly to ministering churches and orphanages in Haiti.

Everyone can help in some way! Even if you do not attend our church and would like to contribute, you may. We will be collecting on Feb. 28th 8am - 7pm at Wooster Grace Brethren Church on Burbank Rd, Wooster.

OR you may check out the following links to recommended items and have shipped directly to the Florida address provided. Pastor Joseph is with Caribbean Vision Ministries. There are some great online deals!

If you desire to ship directly to Florida please ship to Pastor Joseph at the following address. (Please let us know if you ship directly to Pastor Joseph at CVM. You may comment on blog, email me at jwfish7@msn.com, or leave a message at 330-262-3474.)
