We often post stories of people in our congregation who have given of themselves in extraordinary ways or who have been specially touched by their experiences at Chapel Hill.
Haitian Relief Fund - A note from Pastor Mark
Give Here
I’m so grateful for your generosity to our Haitian Relief Fund – we have already sent over $8400 to our mission partners:
- World Vision, Medical Teams International, and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance
- Your donations in these early days and weeks following the earthquake are helping to provide what is most need – skilled hands, strong backs, and steady nerves that come with experience gained in the field. While it may be some time yet before those of us with willing hearts and fewer skills can be put to use, I want you to know that we are already thinking about what our church’s long term response might look like. There are some creative and significant ideas on the table. While it’s too early to know for sure what God will ask of us, I believe it may well involve many more of us than have ever before responded to God’s call to serve those in need. Join me, your session, and staff as we pray together and discern how we might best help to rebuild this devastated nation.
Meanwhile, do you have medical, dental, logistics, administrative or other disaster response skills to offer our mission partners? I would encourage you to get in touch with them and find out how you might apply your skills to the needs of people in disaster settings such as Haiti. To learn more contact:
As we prepare for our future outreach to Haiti it would be helpful to know who is interested in serving and what your skills are; to do that follow this link to our Go Team Application.
Our command to Go is something we take seriously around here. It is my heart’s desire that more and more of us will courageously follow God’s call on our lives to Go and bring the good news of God’s love, truth and Justice to a hurting world. While I too find it hard to watch the images coming out of Haiti, I am finding that God is shaping my heart in the midst of this tragedy to be more like His. And don’t we all long for that? To be people after God’s own heart? My prayer for each of us is that we would learn to pray in these days to pray with our eyes wide open – open to the truth of what is happening in our world, and open to seeing God at work in the midst of it.
