Update: OUCCC students raised over $1200 to help those affected by the disastrous earthquake in Haiti. Thanks so much to all who gave so generously!
Official update from CCC nationally: Please pray for all of our missionaries in Haiti. This has been a traumatic event and they need all the support they can get.
Global Aid Network has been leading Campus Crusade for Christ’s response to the tragedy. They have set up in an area called Croix des Bouquets on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince consisting of 30-40 small villages that have received very little help.
The situation is constantly changing, but here is a summary of what GAiN has been able to accomplish:
- Distributed 2 containers of relief supplies with 10 more on the way
- Set up a medical clinic on Jan 21, with volunteer doctors and nurses
- Trauma counselors have conducted a training session with 120 pastors
- A network of churches have agreed to work with GAiN to provide locations for additional food distribution, medical clinics and JESUS film showings
Many of the supplies are just now arriving in Haiti, so the distribution of food and water will increase sharply over the coming days and weeks.
