Haiti: Pray Now, Give Some, Go Soon
The images coming in from Haiti are truly horrific (which is why we chose the image above). It’s easy to watch an hour of CNN and be left worse than when you started. That level of intensity and catastrophe can tend to lead us down one of two paths:
- A numbed sense of powerlessness and detachment
- or
- A harried sense of temporary responsive activism
We are praying instead that God leads us and leads you to a God Given, Holy Spirit Driven, Sustainable and Responsible Response that reflects the way of Jesus.
We are asking that you
- Pray Now (For those suffering, for those serving, for families, new orphans, new widows)
- Give Some (Click the button to the right to give to Compassion International. Whatever amount you have in your head, add 25%)
- Go Soon (Tweets and Posts like this are good, but you and I are going to need to go soon and for a long time to come)
We are praying for Haiti. We are praying for those of us that are connected to Soul City Church, that we would live a Gospel that has always been for the poor, the outcast, the forgotten.

Last year our church started a church and an orphan home in Cavillion, Haiti and it's been nothing short of tranformational for all of us. We have had around 75 people actually go and spend time with these amazing kids.
In the wake of the disaster, there will be no doubt more orphans in Haiti. We have forged a partnership with the global orphan project that has people on the ground in Haiti extending hope. Consider giving to support our friends at the global orphan project. 100% of what you give goes to help the kids. It's so worth it. <http://theglobalorphanproject.org/>

There are so many people that would love to give to those who are in need; some people who want to give are struggling financially. One way you can give if you are financially challenged is, you can give your time; you can always volunteer to help others!
