It is with
a heavy heart that I am compelled to pen this letter to fellow believers
in Christ concerning the recent devastation that has taken place
in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. As you know, 12 days into the New Year
an earthquake measured at 7.3 (on a 0-9 Richter scale) hit the poorest
Country in the Western Hemisphere. Thousands of structures have
folded as a result and it has been reported that a third of the
Country’s 9 million residents are in need of emergency aid.
The strongest
earthquake recorded in over 200 years, could be felt in the neighboring
Dominican Republic –who shares the Hispaniola Island with
Haiti. We are happy to report that we have spoken with Bishop Wanser
and all is well with our Dominican Sisters and Brothers.
Our focus,
as you can imagine, is now on helping Haiti. Much like the Christian
love that was demonstrated toward the Asian Tsunami and Katrina
victims, we are extending a clarion call for immediate financial
support for our Haitian Brothers and Sisters.
The
“HELPING HAITI PROJECT” will take place in
three phases:
1.
Free-Will Offerings
~We are asking for a special free-will specifically for the people
of Haiti. Donations should be mailed to the Global Missions Overseer:
c/o Bishop Reese Price, Jr. - Victory Apostolic Faith Church
- 8053 South May Street - Chicago, IL 60620
2.
Canned Good Drive
~Collected canned food items will be shipped to the people of Haiti.
3.
Clothing/Hygiene Product Drive
~ Clothing items and hygiene products will also be shipped to the
people of Haiti.
