Help For Haiti

Saturday I post that I had some big news. Well here it is, I'm giving up coffee. Why? I've decided that the money I spend on ordering out for coffee can be used for something better. So, instead of going out for coffee I will be donating that money to a group that will be helping out in Haiti.

How can you help? Here is an excerpt from an email that went out. Why am I re-posting? Because you probably just deleted it.

Many are asking how we as an LBC Family can help. So all next week, we are going to emphasize "Help for Haiti" and have boxes sitting around in several locations for people to give - Hollee's Cafe, Library, Student Services, GSC, ODC.

Specifically, there are two times that we want to highlight:

*Tues, Jan 26 - we have doubleheader basketball games with Valley Forge Christian College (women @ 6 pm; men @ 8 pm). "Help for Haiti" will be highlighted that night and everyone in attendance will be encouraged to give. Information was also sent to our friends at VFCC to encourage them to participate in the night.

*Wed, Jan 27 - during chapel, "Help for Haiti" will be highlighted as two of our young men who were in Haiti when the earthquake hit will take a few moments to share with us. Again, the opportunity to give will be given.

If you will not be able to attend either of those events, please feel free to give at any of the locations listed above.

All money collected will go directly to one or two agencies that are helping with relief efforts in Haiti. Consider giving sacrificially as we are very blessed here in the USA. Instead of buying your coffee or latte on any given day (or whatever you might normally drink), consider giving that money to "Help for Haiti".

Future ideas of ways to be involved with relief efforts in Haiti will be considered. For now, the best way that we can help we are told is through giving finances.

Continue to pray! It is so good to know that God is in complete control.

Thanks for considering how to give!
