Haiti


HELP FOR HAITI

Reports from Haiti are bleak. 100,000 people are estimated dead, and the number of victims continues to rise. At least one million more are homeless and in need. Learn more at http://www.lwr.org/emergencies/10/HaitiEarthquake/index.asp

You may read how the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod has been responding to the earthquake needs in Haiti (http://www.lcms.org/default.asp).

Over $300,000 has been given to Lutheran agencies, much of it by online contributions (http://givenowlcms.org). Thrivent Financial will match 50% of gifts up to $250.00 per member, for a total of $1 million. See www.thrivent.com for details about the "Helping Haiti" campaign.

Consider how you can hold out a helping hand.
