Haiti Update: Response and Resources

United Methodist Communications continues to provide news coverage, including how the church is responding, at www.umc.org/haiti.  Check out the UMNS photostream and slideshow on Flickr.  Donating money, volunteering, assembling health kits and writing on a prayer wall, United Methodists are involved.   A variety of resources are available as we continue to keep Haiti high on our list of current mission and ministries.  Givers can support relief efforts with financial donations to East Ohio Conference clearly marked for UMCOR Advance # 418325.  One hundred percent of gifts to UMCOR through The Advance support the designated project.  UMCOR’s two relief supply warehouses are asking for health kits – instructions on assembling and shipping. 

You can also share a prayer for those affected by the Haiti earthquake at an online prayer wall.  Visit the Facebook group for 10thousanddoors.org to lift up your praise or concern on the wall.   A United Methodist composer has offered a song “to inspire people in the midst of all the hopelessness and despair.”  The music video includes images from Haiti and can be found here.
