You’ve been hearing all about the earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12. If you are wondering what you can do to help, here are a couple of suggestions. Please continue to pray for the people who are suffering and hurting, and pray for those who are working to provide treatment and relief. It is our prayer that Jesus Christ and the church will shine brightly during these dark days in Haiti by loving people and serving them.

Community Christian Church has sent several teams over the past few years to serve with the Northwest Haiti Christian Mission. The Christian Mission sent a medical team into Port-au-Prince in the hours that followed the earthquake, and they have let us know of some of the immediate needs that we are able to supply. We are collecting some specific supplies at CCC and shipping them out on Sunday, January 24. If you would like to purchase some supplies and drop them off at CCC this Sunday, please check out the list of items by clicking HERE.
