Haiti Relief

The devastation in Haiti is remarkable, and the news doesn't seem to be getting any better. I've heard a number of reports of people being cut off and the infrastructure in the country being destroyed. Today a friend of mine put into perspective the hurt that Haiti must be feeling...

Let me offer this perspective:

2,985 people died in the 9-11 attacks.

1,836 people died in Hurricane Katrina.

Now, remember with me the utter panic and pain that these 2 tragedies brought to THIS nation.

As sad as these tragedies were (and as hurtful as they were for those impacted), they were tiny in comparison to what the people of Haiti are feeling today.

I can't imagine the sense of loss they must be feeling, but there is no doubt they are in need and we have plenty by comparison. I want to ask you to give generously through whatever organization you can. We will be collecting an offering this Sunday that will be given to ConvoyofHope.org.
