Haiti Video Available

There is an excellent 2 minute video that is available and would be very good for your church to use this Sunday morning. This video shows and talks about how NC Baptists are responding to the terrible earthquake that hit Haiti.  You can view and download this video at the link below.

NC Baptist Haiti Update- 1-21-2010


Currently, North Carolina Baptists have 2 medical teams in Haiti.  They had to fly into the Dominican Republic but the first team was able to get into Haiti on Friday (1-15-2010). The second team of 13 people got into Haiti on Wednesday (1-20-2010). They have been working hard at a hospital and meeting many needs in Haiti since January 15. We have taken in many medical supplies and we have bought supplies in the Dominican Republic and taken them into Haiti.
A third medical team is leaving for Haiti on Sunday, January 24.  They will also fly to the Dominican Republic and drive across the border into Haiti. There are 13 people on this team. They are taking many needed medical items into Haiti. Right now the needs are medical and very specialized, but in the future we will have many more opportunities for volunteers with other skills to be used in Haiti. Potential volunteers can sign up on our website. We are looking at being involved in Haiti for a long time.
At this time we are accepting monetary donations only.  You may do this in several ways:


•    Go to our website http://www.baptistsonmission.org/Projects/disasterrelief/2010Response/Haiti.aspx , click on the button Donate Now. You will be taken to a page that shows the option of donating in several different monetary denominations.  Follow the instructions.
•    On the convention website (www.ncbaptist.org ), there is a button on the right side of the home page which will direct persons to a place where they may donate via a credit card.  This is the same donation section as on the NCBM website.
