My
name is Timothe Jacques and I am the Pastor of New Life United Methodist
Church in Fort Lauderdale. I am also representing all the Methodist Haitian
Churches in the Florida Conference as being the Chair of the Conference
Committee On Haitian Ministry (CCOHM). As we all know, Haiti has been hit
Tuesday January 12, 2010 by a 7.0 magnitude of earthquake. That earthquake
has caused an unprecedented proportion of damage and a massive loss of human
life . The Conference Committee on Haitian Ministry and the Haiti-Florida
Covenant are working together with the conference and the districts putting
together a comprehensive effort throughout the conference to help and
support the
Haitian people at this tragic moment.
>>First of all, we are asking everyone to pray.
>>Secondly, we are encouraging people to donate money. Through UMCOR, the
United Methodist Committee on Relief, you can give the money that will go
directly to support the people. Go to the conference website
www.flumc2.org and
look for “Haiti Emergency UMCOR advance #418325” or visit
http://new.gbgm-umc.org
and make your contribution there.
>>Thirdly, we are asking you to donate in-kind items.
Let us know where you are and how you can help. The shipping may be quite
costly. Therefore, consider to donate some money to help facilitate that as
well. You can go on the conference website provided above or you may visit
www.mynewlifeumc.org
and click on the “Donate” button.” All of your
contribution will be accounted for and will go towards the earthquake relief
in Haiti.
