Haiti Earthquake Relief

The (national) United Church of Christ has launched an emergency appeal for Haiti after a major earthquake struck the country on January 12th.  It is still too early to know the full extent of the damage, but One Great Hour of Sharing is expecting a very high loss of life, widespread destruction, including major damage to key water, electricity, and road systems.  One Great Hour of Sharing funds are being rushed to support the initial emergency response.

And, given the fact that many folks have read Mountains Beyond Mountains, we are also including a link below where you can donate directly through Partners in Health.  The need is massive.  Here is how you can help:

1. Pray for the people of Haiti, their leaders and emergency and humanitarian aid workers.

2. Make on online donation to the "Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund" at the national UCC website:

3.  Make an online donation through the Partners in Health organization at:

4.  Send a check, payable to "Wider Church Ministries" and mark in the memo portion  "OGHS - Haiti Earthquake Relief", to UCC Wider Church Ministries, 700 Prospect Ave., Cleveland, OH  44115
