URGENT: Help for Haiti

January 15, 2010

In response to the recent earthquake in Haiti, the Free Church of Scotland has donated £10,000 to Tearfund’s ‘Haiti Emergency Appeal’.

Thanks, in part, to recent legacy income and to the fundraising efforts of Women for Mission (WFM), our church can make this immediate practical response to this catastrophe, which has been described by former U. S. President, Bill Clinton - now UN Special Envoy to Haiti - as “one of the great humanitarian emergencies in the history of the Americas”.

We encourage congregations and individuals to send donations to our Disaster and Relief Fund at the Free Church Offices. Such donations will allow us to continue to provide financial support to aid agencies, such as Tearfund, when disasters like this occur.

As we support the relief effort financially, may we all pray for those who have been bereaved, injured and rendered homeless. Let us commend them to God, who remains “our ever present help in times of trouble” (Psalm 46.1).
