You have probably already heard that a massive 7.3 earthquake hit Haiti yesterday. Because of the types of structures people live and work in as well as a general lack of access to medical care, thousands are expected to die. There is also high risk for infections and water contaminations leading to more deaths. You CAN help in several ways:
1. Pray. One suggestion is to pray on the hour, every hour, for the rescue efforts and for healing. Pray for God to open doors for every salvation, both physical and spiritual.
2. Give. I recommend giving through any reputable agency, but personally know that Medical Teams International (where I used to work) has experience in Haiti and has 2 teams ready to go and provide emergency medical care to the wounded. I have even met two of the doctors that leave tomorrow. MTI will responsibly use your dollars as only 3% of donations are used for overhead. The rest goes directly to the field. In a situation like this $10, 20 or $50 will make an impact.
