You no doubt are aware of the great loss and need existing in Haiti as a result of the recent earthquakes. This impoverished country and its people are important to God and to us. As a church we are responding in several ways.

Pray
Our Mosaic Communities will be meeting on Thursday, January 21st to pray specifically for the crisis in Haiti. While we encourage you to pray with us corporately on the 21st, we also ask that over the coming days and weeks you set apart time as families to pray with your kids and spouses, and as individuals during your daily devotional time and throughout the day.

Give
It is beyond belief how much has been destroyed and how many lives were lost. There are organizations already established to best utilize financial donations for maximum impact in disaster relief scenarios. So we at Mosaic are encouraging you to give to Samaritan’s Purse work in helping Haiti quake victims. All money given will be directed to the people and recovery of Haiti. If you feel compelled to give please designate a check and we will send it all to Samaritan’s Purse.
