UPDATE: To get a very real sense of what it's like for those in Haiti, check out my Baylor Student Foundation Friend and her husband's blog. They just move there to be missionaries two weeks ago.
Ben and Katie in Haiti
Not very often do I turn on the TV to get my news. My main source of news comes as I make my way to work each morning and listen to the radio. As a Public Relations major who had to know current events for pop quizzes, I suppose it is a shame that I use only one source to get my news. But hey, at least I'm getting it.
I heard about the earthquake in Haiti yesterday, but perhaps because I hadn't seen photos or really knew much about it, I wasn't aware of the magnitude of the situation. This morning as I got ready, I prayed that I would have an urgency and also have compassion for those in Haiti. Well, the Lord answered fast.
As soon as I got to work, I looked through my typical blogs I like to check, and one after another came up about ways to donate to the relief efforts in Haiti.
Living Proof Ministries, Beth Moore's organization, has posted a list of ways to donate to the disaster relief. This is what they have written:
Compassion is already in active operation toward aid for Haiti and so is World Vision. You can also get on the official Red Cross website and give online. Go to Redcross.org then look for "donate" and choose "International Response Fund."
Text "HAITI" to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts. It will be charged on your cell phone bill.
My heart goes out especially to those children sponsored by Compassion International. I have much respect for that organization and the work that it does in Jesus' name to meet the physical and spiritual needs of children and families in impoverished conditions.
Please consider donating as much or as little as you can. And of course the best thing we can do is get on our knees and pray.
