Prayer for Haiti

Last week I received an e-mail from our Executive Director of the Florida Baptist Convention, Dr. John Sullivan. He was asking for prayer and financial support for the 700 churches in Haiti that have been started and nurtured by the Florida Baptist Convention. Late in Hurricane session Hurricane Noel devastated this island nation. One hundred seventy five churches were damage and seventy one were destroyed. Also Two Hundred seventy six Pastor's had their Home's damaged. Their also was 943 church members that had their home damaged by the storm.

Last week I asked our Missions Committee to take $1,000 from our Missions Fund to send to the Florida Baptist Convention for the work in Haiti. The committee approved this action. Please be in prayer for the work in Haiti.

I would also ask for your prayers for a Mission Team that my daughter, Aarika, is a part of that will be leaving for Haiti on Monday, December 10 and returning on December 17th. They will be doing Vacation Bible School and working in the orphanages.
