Dear Saints, I just got off the phone with Safe Harbor/ACTs, and they have dispatched an Assessment Team to the country of Haiti, and they are on the ground now. The ACTs team is going to connect with the Calvary Chapel in Port-au-Prince to determine how to best proceed.
Please be praying for the Haitian people, and also for the relief efforts. The reality is that the country is in such a state of ruin that we need to be very focused on our assistance. The airport is slammed, and transportation is in chaos. The US military and other aid agencies are utilizing all of the airspace and ground transportation, and will better deliver "immediate aid" to the people. Giving to groups that have existing teams 'on the ground' such as the Samaritan's Purse would be wise.

It is also important that we focus on the needs of the next 30/60/90/120 days, which will be a crucial time for churches to help.
CCW is partnering with ACTs to help fund the "next wave" of aid; helping people put their lives back together, grieve the loss of loved ones, and sustaining their families over the next several months.
