Here is a letter from Steve McMillan at Oak Park Church of Christ in regatrds to the devastation in Haiti due to earthquake...

Friends,


As you may know, Oak Park has been invested in Haiti for several years through our mission called "Heart for Home" led by Ricot and Mandy Leon. We are also involved in Haiti through the efforts of Dr. Paul Davis (and wife Mary) who are members of our congregation that have been serving Haiti through short term medical trips to Jacmel for many years. Paul and Mary have many contacts in Jacmel (a city of over 50,000 that was devasted by the earthquake) and they are presently working hard to contact the Pastors, friends and medical workers to asses the situation. Paul and Mary are booked to be in Jacmel by the end of the month to begin meeting medical needs.

If your congregation is interested in helping Haiti directly (no administration costs) through a Christ-focused couple that has contacts on the ground I want to invite you to partner with us. Oak Park has committed $30,000 to the area of Jacmel through Paul and Mary and their contacts and we believe this is a great way to make a difference in the midst of this tragedy. We anticipate that Ricot and Mandy will also be serving with Paul and Mary in Jacmel in the weeks to come.

You can send funds to the Oak Park Church of Christ and mark them "Haiti Relief." Individual donations given for this purpose, prior to February 20, will also be eligible for Federal Matching monies.

Please pray for Ricot and Mandy and Paul and Mary as they serve in Haiti. For updates and more information you go to mypark.ca or heartforhomehaiti.org

For the Kingdom,
Steve
