A 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Port au Prince, the capital city of Haiti, on January 12, destroying buildings, homes and killing over 100,000 people. This quake was especially devastating in Haiti, where peopl are acutely vulnerable because of poor infrastructure and extreme poverty.
What is needed most at this time is money. First Baptist Church is suggesting three organizations for you to give to. However, feel free to give to whatever organization you research. Just give!
1. Cooperative Baptist Fellowship
2. World Vision
We have partnerships with these three organizations. We trust them, we work with them, and we want to support their efforts at recovery in Haiti.
If you are interested in going to Haiti as part of a response team, please contact Melissa Hatfield at melissa@fbcjc.org or 573.634.3603.
