Haiti Earthquake News
Posted by Dalton Rushing at 3:50pm UMVIM, SEJ continues to respond to the earthquake in Haiti. We praise God for the news that our friends at UMCOR and Mission Volunteers are alive after spending 55 hours trapped in the rubble of the Hotel Montana! Still, we recognize that for tens of thousands of other families, the news is not so good. We know that as God calls us to the broken places of the world, that we will be working in Haiti for many years.

At the request of UMCOR, we will continue to be the clearinghouse for individuals from the SEJ interested in traveling to Haiti to assist in disaster recovery and humanitarian aid. Interested missioners can visit www.umvim.org/haiti and enter their contact information into the form on that page. This list of contacts will be activated as soon as UMVIM has news about scheduling a mission trip to Haiti.

Please continue to give to UMCOR as they do the important work of initial recovery. You can give online at umcor.org.

This will be the last notification concerning this phase of the Haiti disaster, barring major new developments. Continue to watch www.umvim.org/haiti for ongoing news.
