Have Compassion: Help Haiti

Haiku for Haiti

skies like blue water
peaceful and calmly watching
the shaking and the breaking

The catastrophic earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12 has resulted in unfathomable chaos and devastation for hundreds of thousands of children and families.

Compassion sponsors and donors serve more than 65,000 children in Haiti. At least a third of them live in the areas that were hardest hit.

The people of Haiti desperately need our help and hope.

Please reach out in the name of Jesus to bring relief, comfort, love and restoration to precious children and families whose lives have been devastated by this crisis.

Thanks for this wonderful challenge! We sponsor a child in Africa from Compassion and gave to the Haiti project through World Vision. It is time for the church to be the church for the world!
