Helping people we know in Haiti

image from Samaritan's Purse


Wooster Grace is praying and seeking to provide help to those devastated by the Haitian earthquake.  Our Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches equips and supports church planting in Haiti through Caribbean Vision Ministries.

One pastor who needs prayer is Pastor Elysee, a Haitian born church developer with Caribbean Vision Ministries.  Pastor Elysee said farewell to a missions team this past Sunday from Cap Hatien in northern Haiti. He had a flight cancelled to Port-au-Prince the day before the quake.  He sent an email to pray earnestly for survivors and the followers of Christ who are now first responders for help, prayer, and comfort.  Read his email here.

How to help: Two ways to help--PRAY and GIVE.  Dr. Chuck Davis, Executive Director of Caribbean Vision Ministries shares,  
"Your prayers will be appreciated for our friends in Haiti and Pastor Elysee as he evaluates things and lets us know how we may help. Any financial gifts to help with the disaster can be sent to Caribbean Vision Ministries, PO Box 18317, Panama City Beach, FL 32417 and marked "Haiti Disaster Relief." Thanks for your prayers and assistance.


Other ways to help: You can donate to the International Response Fund with the Red Cross. View pictures from Red Cross.  Other organizations already mobilized can be found with Britt Bravo's postSamaritan's Purse is also mobilizing resources and people.
