Campus Crusade for Christ & Haiti

Following the devastation of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday evening in Haiti, Campus Crusade for Christ is doing what we can to help all that are affected by the destruction.

There are staff members in Haiti that we are praying for - involved in the Campus Ministry as well as the Jesus Film Project. We appreciate your prayers for those staff members - so far there have been reports that those who have been found are doing well and in good health. Our national team is still trying to contact those that we have yet to hear from - please pray for them and their families.

Global Aid Network (GAiN) is another ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ that is responding to the physical needs of Haitians that are affected by the quake, as they specialize in relief and development of those countries / areas in need. GAiN currently has containers in Haiti that contain 1 million meals, and another 8 large containers of food and much needed supplies ready to be shipped.

If you are looking for a way to be involved in the relief, GAiN is in need of financial resources in order to distribute food and supplies. You can give financially directly through their website, www.gainusa.org

We also know of one fellow Coug that was in Haiti at the time of the earthquake, Megan Simmons. We have heard that she is doing ok, but nothing more.

Please nclude your prayers, prayer requests, or any information you might have about people in Haiti in the comments below.
