BUCKETS OF HOPE
One of the best things that Southern Baptists do is to cooperate to achieve a goal that will minister to both human and spiritual needs. We have all seen the heart-wrenching scenes broadcast by the news media from Haiti—homes and businesses falling on top of innocent people as a result of a devastating earthquake near the capital city of Port-au-Prince. Many surviving people say that they have lost all hope. Indiana Baptists want to provide renewed hope by providing food and a message of eternal hope in the Haitians’ native language through the Buckets of Hope project. Buckets of Hope is a joint project of the North American Mission Board, Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, and state conventions, led by the Florida Baptist Convention. Florida Baptists are the lead agency in the Haiti relief effort. Begin collecting the items listed, pack them, and then prepare them for shipment to Haiti. Details for collection points for these Buckets of Hope will be given later. (Feb. 5, 2010)

From SCBI's Executive Director:

As you know the devastation in Haiti is unbelievable, and Southern Baptists are working with the Florida Baptist Convention to coordinate disaster relief. Right now what is needed are donations. The Florida Baptist Disaster Team along with the North American Mission Board (NAMB) are trying to get into the country to assess needs and prepare the disaster relief efforts. Dr. Sullivan, executive director for Florida, sent a letter describing their needs and plans. The letter is attached (click here). If you would like to take up a special offering to help, you can direct your offering for Haiti Disaster Relief through our office, send it to the Florida Baptist Convention or to NAMB. All monies sent to our office will be directed to the Florida Baptist Convention, 100% of which will be used to help the people in Haiti. Thanks for your prayers and for your financial generosity to help.

In Christ, Steve Davis
