UMCOR Response to Haiti needs YOU
Our hearts are heavy and our prayers are many as we grieve with our friends, families, coworkers and relational ties in Haiti. Our Conference sends so many teams to Haiti that we are compelled to respond in many ways. The Dakotas Medical Mission Team in Haiti during the earthquake is doing fine, with no injuries and little damage in their village. Bruce Blumer, brother of Sue Togel, and Sarah Baker, spouse of former pastor, Ray Baker, are both with this trip. UMCOR will help us reach out to and through our Methodist connections in Haiti. Your response will help UMCOR gauge its response.
Please give through our church, through the UMCOR website, or to Advance #418325, Haiti Disaster Response.
