While viewing the horrific images online, instinctively I was compelled to get involved and help alleviate their suffering and pain.
Here's how we can respond at PCC to help Hait:
PRAY
"The prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective," says James. Tonight we are gathering for our all-church prayer meeting during our spiritual emphasis week. One of our church members will share a personal testimony of family members that are missionaries in Haiti. You don't to miss this story. We will have a special time of prayer for the people of Haiti.
GIVE
Even though many of us are experiencing difficult economic times, we need to be generous and give toward relief efforts. This Sunday we will give a special offering for the people of Haiti. Please come prepared to give.
TELL
Cataclysmic events such as these remind me of the preeminent return of Christ. In response to his disciples asking for signs of his second coming, Jesus said, "For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains." (Mt. 24:3-14) Now is the time to share your faith with your friends and invite them to church. People need the hope and assurance that Jesus has to offer.
