Pastor Carlo is safe! Praise God!
As you know, the earthquake in Haiti has had a catastrophic impact. Yet, in the midst of the most desperate circumstances God shows his most amazing activity. Three days after the earthquake, we heard the miraculous news that our precious friend and ministry partner Pr. Carlo Thomas is safe. He has been a part of the search and rescue mission… no surprises there! Some of the churches have been damaged. He lost a wall at his house. He will need a lot of help in rebuilding and helping the victims in his areas.
Like the Apostle Paul, Carlo continues to live a life of deliverance through many dangers toils and snares.Many of you want to know what you can do to help the Haitian people. At the same time you want to make sure that your assistance doesn’t fall in to a black hole of good intention. From before the time Crossroads began, we have partnered with Pr. Carlo and New World Mission, serving the schools and churches in Haiti. At no time has that partnership been more critical. Our connections with Haiti are already proven and ready to address this devastation. Our partners on the ground in Haiti are already doing the heroic work on their end, now we are called to do our part.
The most important resource we can give now is money. With it we will purchase desperately needed items (antiseptics, bandages, water, blankets etc…) to be flown to Haiti through our faithful carrier, Agape Flights. Donations can be given online at ccmonline.org, in Sunday’s offering or mailed to Crossroads. All donations should be designated to Haiti Relief. You can rest assured that 100% of your donation will go directly to meet the Haitian people in their time of need.
In our devotion time this morning, we read of the friends that lowered their friend through the roof so Jesus could do what only Jesus can do!! (Mark 2:1-12) Now it’s our turn. Instead of lowering our friends through the roof, it’s time to pull our friends from the rubble. The pictures you see are some of the pastors and children… our friends in Haiti. Please pray for them all to be found and rescued! Please give with a generous heart.. our friends need to be pulled out of the rubble.
With thanks, hope, and continued prayer,>
