January 12: devastating 7.0 earthquake rocks Haiti, thousands are feared dead or injured. January 13: United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) repsonds with help.

Haiti has been called one of the poorest countries in the world. This desperately neighbor also has been devastated by hurricanes in recent years including 3 of them in 2008, and much of their infrastructure was already crumbling. If you would like to help the Haitian people affected by this disaster, consider donating to UMCOR by writing a check to our local church noting the donation is for the Haiti emergency. When you give in this way, 100% of your gift goes directly to help the people of Haiti. The United Methodist Church supports this project and has already been working in Haiti for many years, so this is how they can promise that ALL of your gift goes directly to help people and not for administrative costs. 100%, what could be better than that? Lakewood United Methodist Church also gets credit for your gift when send it in this way. Please include the people of Haiti in your prayers.
