Image taken from UK World NewsI'm sure everyone is familiar with what is going on in Haiti. I certainly cannot get the images of women and children who were hurt or killed out of my head. So I wanted to post about what we will be doing through Riverstone Church. The purpose of this to make people aware and hopefully get you involved.
This Sunday we will be receiving a special offering to send to Convoy of Hope which is an AG organization. They have been present at all major disasters and are on the ground now in Haiti. So we are going to give EVERY dollar that comes in the offering this week to them in order to buy water, food and medical supplies. So I want to encourage you to come out on Sunday and take part in this special offering.
Also we will be praying specifically for Haiti. We are going to give out special prayer guides made up by our National Prayer Center of the AG so that we can be specific and effective in our prayers. So please be sure to take one on Sunday.
I know often in times of tragedy people far off feel helpless to do anything. This is an opportunity for you to DO something. It is timely, tangible, and tantamount that you do this. Millions of people need help and we have the resources to do that.
Galatians 6:10 says "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of God."
Now is our time to step up to the plate and show the love of God in a very tangible way. I know some of you would love to come to church in order to be a part of what we are doing but distance keeps you from that. So there is a way you can actually donate to Convoy of Hope online. You can donate here. God bless you and thank you for being a part of helping the Haitian people through tragedy.
Also if you want an online copy of the prayer guide you can go here.
