What We're Doing To Help Haiti...

I’m asking you to help the people of Haiti through people we trust.

Rather than dumping money into a Black Hole of vast need in the world, GCC’s long-term strategy aligns with a development approach. We encourage, train and partner with local churches so they can transform their communities with healthy, full-spectrum care.  (We get no credit for that; it was God’s idea.)

Since 1986, faithful individuals at Granger Community Church have given over $64 million to impact our community, region and world with tangible examples of the love of Christ.  

Our laser-focused development-approach doesn’t mean we don’t offer relief in a crisis. Our long-term commitments in India don’t preclude our efforts when there’s an emergency elsewhere.  When you see someone in the ditch, you help.  It’s not a shifting focus; it’s a Godly response to immediate need.  I’m not asking you to help because right now it’s in vogue to do something for Haiti. I’m asking you to give because God calls on us – in times like this – to step up.

Here’s the plan. Participate, and you’ll add value in these specific ways:

• Blankets
• Emergency Medical Care
• Food
• Water

We’re delivering money. The money purchases relief. The relief is contextualized through Haitian churches by World Relief.

It's like when the Good Samaritan gave money to the Inn Keeper and the Inn Keeper gave relief to the suffering man entrusted to his care. You (Good Samaritans) give money to the Inn Keeper (World Relief/Haitian Churches) and they bring relief to the suffering (those devastated by the earth quake).

Go here, and the money you give will get where you intend it to go - to relieve suffering in Haiti. 

Luke 10:33-35  -  A Samaritan traveling the road came on him. When he saw the man's condition, his heart went out to him. He gave him first aid, disinfecting and bandaging his wounds. Then he lifted him onto his donkey, led him to an inn, and made him comfortable. In the morning he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, "Take good care of him. If it costs any more, put it on my bill—I'll pay you on my way back."

My husband and I are so moved by the plight of Haiti, especially the children. We are so blessed with our own 4 children, but feel we are being called to assist a Haitian child. We would love to adopt a Haitian child, but have no idea where to start. If anyone has any suggestions we would love to know.
