While we were traveling back to Mozambique, we learned of the terrible earth quake in Haiti. Regardless of what country this kind of event occurs in, it should move our hearts to compassion as 'except by the grace of God go I....'. But despite that, it especially tugs at our hearts because we first became involved with OMS through a dear friend who went to Haiti to serve for a year, our daughter has served in Haiti, we have missionary friends in Haiti, and our mission has extensive work and many missionaries in Haiti, including a radio station, seminary, hospital, churches and the like. Friends of ours who have been to both countries (Mozambique and Haiti) say that they are very similar, from culture to construction techniques differing mainly in the language spoken.
So, it is with heaviness of heart that we watch these events in Haiti. OMS has established a specific project number for the relief efforts in Haiti. OMS has people on the ground now and is one of the conduits for assisting with this incredible disaster. Every little bit helps, no amount is too little, no amount is too much:
There are fundamentally two ways for you to help the people of Haiti through OMS:
1. Go to www.omsinternational.org. Follow the link on the Haiti Earthquake story and make your donation on the secure link. It connects directly to the Haiti Relief project number: 405120.
2. Write your check to OMS with "Haiti Relief 405120" on the memo line. Mail to:
