Christian Relief Fund Helping Victims in Haiti
Let me tell you what is happening through CRF in Haiti because of your generosity. First of all, we have been bringing in food from two sources to two places in Port-au-Prince. We had a feeding program and children’s work there before the earthquake which was overseen by Roberta Edwards. CRF has been funding a delivery of food, water, and medicine from the Dominican Republic approximately every other day. This has been done in partnership with Manna International ministries that has also coordinated medical teams in our work there. In addition some of the children who were previously supported by our works in the Dominican Republic have now grown up and are overseeing deliveries of food and water to another church and feeding program there. It is so rewarding to see the children of CRF who have been helped for so many years now helping others. We also have works in the northern part of Haiti. Our work in Cap-Hatian has been distributing food to Port-au-Prince. And now thousands of refugees are arriving in Cap-Hatian because of the devastation in the southern area. We have also started feeding programs for the evacuees there. The government has provided housing in a really large gym, and we are distributing food there. Huge rains are about to come to Haiti that are going to cause other problems. We have been told that more people could die from a lack of clean water than the earthquake. Therefore, we are partnering with Global Samaritan Ministries and bringing in water purification systems. We also are bringing in around 7000 tents this week to provide shelter before the rains arrive. We have some other works going there, but I just wanted to give you a taste of what we are doing. Thanks for your support. It is helping. This tragedy will last for a long time, and we plan on helping for the long haul. You can be sure that any future help that you give will be used frugally and provide real help. You are making a difference with the lost and the least! Under Grace, Milton Jones President of the Board
