Indigenous Christian ministries in Haiti desperately need our help says the president of Christian Aid Mission (CAM).

Emergency gifts for helping rebuild the lives of victims may be made online at www.ChristianAid.org or by calling 1-800-977-5650. Contributions should be designated Haiti Disaster, code number 120DIS.

Haitian officials estimate that 100,000 may have been killed. The death toll is climbing by the hour in the wake of the magnitude 7.0 quake that tore through the capital of Port-au-Prince. The quake was the most powerful in 240 years and affects 1.8 million people who live in the immediate area of the epicenter.

Christian Aid Mission has been assisting native missionary efforts in Haiti since 1970. “As in most such disasters,” said Dr. Bob Finley, “medical help for the injured comes first, then long term efforts to rebuild homes, churches, Christian orphanages and schools as well as native missionary training centers.”

Christian Aid Mission is a member of the Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability. Contributions are tax-deductible and used 100% as designated. Emergency gifts may also be mailed to Post Office Box 9037, Charlottesville, VA 22906.

Christian Aid Mission assists more than 700 overseas missionary ministries with 75,000 full-time staff and broadcasters. They proclaim the gospel, evangelize the unreached, plant churches, train workers and distribute the Bible.
