Fay, Gustav and Hanna have battered Haiti's coast, leaving scores of people dead in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Predictions are that hurricanes Ike and Josephine may also head for Haiti, bringing even further devastation.
More than 140 have already been declared dead in Haiti. Rescue workers, currently unable to reach the most affected areas, anticipate the death tolls to climb as cleanup efforts begin. Read more...
Here's how you can act TODAY:
Pray: Please pray for all those affected by Hurricane Gustav and Hanna. Pray that churches and rescue groups respond to those in greatest need. Pray for safety and protection for those living in the Caribbean and the Southeastern United States as Hurricanes Hanna, Ike, and Josephine prepare to hit over the next several days. Ask the Lord to redirect these storms into the Atlantic away from places where people live.
Give: Our ability to respond is dependent on you. Every dollar you give provides a lifeline to people suffering from the hurricanes. Please prayerfully consider how you and your church might respond during this time of great need.
Engage: Click here to track the progress of the storms. Our website (www.worldrelief.org) will also provide updates about this crisis.
Thank you, and God bless you for your faithful support during times of emergency.
In Christ,
Kurt B. Crays
National Director of Church Relations
