the churches of the Jacksonville Baptist Association and the friends of Haiti have graciously contributed $65,872.59 to the JBA Haiti Relief Fund to meet the needs of those devasted by the earthquake. Money continues to come in daily to help fund our committment to be an on-going blessing to victims of the earthquake.

the advance team of the JBA will fly to the Domincan Republic on Thursday, January 28th, and travel approximately 12 hours to our site in Cabaret, Haiti. The four team members will spend a week checking on our children, workers, and facilities; ministering to the people of the Cabaret community; and planning the projects and activities to be accomplished by the teams to follow.

three additional teams have been scheduled to go to Haiti in the next month, including a medical team and a construction team. Please pray for them as they prepare to minister under difficult circumstances. Consider going down yourself. To volunteer contact Maryann Grigsby at 727-6800 or e-mail her at mgrigsby@jaxbaptist.org.

victims of the earthquake have come to Christ because God’s people have ministered to their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. They have experienced the sacrificial love of Jesus and witnessed the Body of Christ being the Church in the midst of trials and tribulations.

I’ve spoken with Pierre Prinvil and he told me that you all were going to be collecting tents to take down there. Have you started that yet? If so, when do the tents need to be there so they can be shipped? Thanks, Pastor John Hodgen, Victory Baptist Church, Stafford, VA
John,
Yes, we will be collecting tents. I’m still working with our shipping company on when we can get them into the country. I’ll let you know when we can start receiving them.
