HAITI EARTHQUAKE RESPONSEOn Tuesday a 7.0 earthquake devastated Port Au Prince, the capital of Haiti. As the body of Christ, our desire is to embody Christ’s presence in our world during times like this. You are encouraged to consider involvement in the following ways:
Pray: for the people of Haiti during this difficult time.
We have access to the God of all creation in prayer. There is perhaps no more powerful resource we have then to turn to our Father and seek him on behalf of the people and the tragedy in Haiti.
Here are
some ideas of things to pray for: rescue of people trapped in buildings; comfort for families who have lost loved ones; timely delivery of essential relief supplies (water, food, shelter); mobilization of essential relief personnel and equipment; discernment for those on the ground as to the best relief strategies; Christ’s church in Haiti to love and serve their hurting country during this difficult time; a timely rebuilding and restoration of the city’s devastated social structure.

And, we have people in the Mosaic Community who are connected to some of these healthy organizations. (i.e. listed above) They are well respected organizations with quality disaster response experience, and we are blessed to have the opportunity to serve and give through these ministries.
Go: Let's begin to dream how and when we might be a part of the restoration process in years to come.
Welcome
