Churches Communication regarding Haiti
Dear Friends,
Our Association of Unity Churches International has established
the Haiti Relief Fund to support those impacted by the recent earthquake in Haiti.
As you know, supplies and money are being directed to many
organizations toward the relief effort. If you and/or your spiritual community
are directing your support to these organizations, by all means continue to do
so. Our Haitian brothers and sisters will require this support and more for the
foreseeable future.
In addition to continuously holding the prayer consciousness
for Haiti,
our Spiritual Social Action Ministry Team is working with Worldwide Support.
Worldwide Support has been in direct communication with the Association of
Unity Leaders in the Dominican
Republic. The Unity Leaders, with the
support of Centro de Operacion de Emergencia and Sur Futuro (both non profit
organizations in the Dominican Republic), are prepared to bring much needed
supplies to the Haitians who have left Port Au Prince and are now in Port de
Paix (in the northwest section of Haiti) and Jacmel (which is South of Port Au
Prince).
Centro de Operacion de Emergencia and Sur Futuro will transport
and distribute to earthquake victims now in Port de Paix and Jacmel items
purchased by the Association of Unity Leaders as well as copies of Daily Word
in French from Unity in Montreal,
Canada.
Reverend Sara Sanchez, President of the Association of Unity Leaders in the Dominican Republic,
has agreed to provide us ongoing reports and updates of this effort. This will
be the purpose of this relief fund and it will make a difference in the lives
of those who have relocated due to the devastation of the earthquake.
This relief effort will be administered by the Association of
Unity Churches International. To support this effort, send your tax-deductible
contributions payable to:
Association of Unity Churches International
Haiti
Relief Fund
P.O. Box 610
Lee's Summit, Mo 64083
Please note on your check that the donation is for the Haiti
Relief Fund.
We will give you periodic updates of the progress of this
effort. Please note that in the event there is an overabundance of funds for
this project, we will do our due diligence to assure the money is applied to
effectively support the relief effort in Haiti.
On behalf of the Association of Unity Churches International
and our Spiritual Social Action Team, we thank you in advance for your support
in making a difference in the lives of our fellow spiritual beings.
In the Spirit of Love, Oneness and Unity,
James Trapp
President & CEO
