We want to continue to be in prayer for the people of Haiti in this time of tragedy. Many of the people in our Haitian churches have loved ones that they have not been able to contact, or who are unaccounted for. There are 15,000 Free Methodists in our churches in Haiti and 17 Free Methodist Missionaries. Three Free Methodist missionaries are still unaccounted for.
Pray also for the people in our Haitian churches here in the United States. Both pastor Joseph Charles and Pastor Nedy Pierre have many family members in Haiti that they have been unable to contact, as do many of the people in all five of our Haitian churches.
You will find a link below to the denominational web site that has been set up to provide information. It has a message from Bishop Roller with information from Haiti, as well as instructions on how to give on line to relief efforts in Haiti. If you prefer to send your gifts through the mail there is also an address for the Bishop's Relief Fund.
The denomination is trying to produce a video of the devastation that may be used in your church by this Sunday, but they are not sure they will be able to meet that deadline. We will let you know when it is available,
Please be faithful in prayer and giving to our Haitian brothers and sisters and our missionaries in the next days and weeks.
Please share this information with your congregation.
