Haiti

My brothers,

Far be it from me to want to inflict a ‘guilt trip’, but I am constrained to tell you that conditions in Haiti could not be worse. I am sure that you have seen something of this in various news media.
Here at Food For The Poor, we have had to suspend our trips for first-time lay pilgrims to Haiti for the time being. You will have noticed that the U.S. Government has renewed its adverse travel advisory to U.S. citizens who may be in Haiti or who desire to travel to Haiti. Nonetheless, a contingent of our Speakers (priests/pastors and a deacon) accompanied by our Executive Director and the Director of the Speakers Bureau, will be going to Haiti next week and you may well imagine that security will be a major concern. It is our hope that their level of discernment for the plight of His poor will certainly be heightened and that their subsequent appeals to the churches in North America should take on renewed/heightened fervor.
Our CEO has sought to prioritize the raising of funds to cover the cost of shipping foodstuff to our neighbor to the south.It would be a blessing to hear that some of my brothers will want to be a part of our efforts to alleviate Third World multi-generational destitution.
