Haiti Disaster Relief
Haiti Update- Feb. 10, 2010- NCBM Medical teams are serving in Haiti, assisting a local burn clinic, children’s hospital and community hospital. Our first team arrived on January 15 by flying first to Santo Domingo, then taking a bus into Haiti. They began their work on Jan. 15 by assisting the burn clinic. They were able to support the hospital staff of Petionville Community Hospital, a 50 bed hospital seeing approximately 250 patients each day.
NCBM sees this as a long-term ministry. We will be sending many volunteers (especially construction), however, we do not have a timetable established at this time. If you are interested in going please click on the "volunteer now" tab below.
One of the biggest needs is for money for building materials. For $2,300 you can provide funds to build a house for a family. For approximately $12,000 you can provide funds to build a small church.
DONATIONS: The Cabarrus Baptist Association has designated a fund for Haiti Disaster Relief. If you would like to assist North Carolina Baptist Men Disaster Relief in Haiti, you may send a donation to the Cabarrus Baptist Association, marked for Haiti Disaster Relief and mail to 930 Lee Ann Dr., Concord, NC 28025. For more information about Haiti Disaster Relief, go to www.ncmissions.org .

All of us have been saddened and burdened by the devastation we have seen in Haiti since the earthquake a little over two weeks ago. We have prayed, many of us have given money through some agency, and all of us have probably wondered how can I do something to help the people of Haiti. Our Cabarrus Baptist Association, the N. C. Baptist Men's Disaster Relief Ministry and the North American Mission Board's Disaster Relief Ministry are partnering to sponsor "Buckets of Hope". This is a great way that individuals, families, and churches can send food relief to these families. Please pray about your involvement and challenge your church to be involved.

Cabarrus Baptist Association office, 930 Lee Ann Drive, Concord will be a drop off point for the buckets. We need to have them here by March 1 to begin the process of collecting them and getting them on their way to Haiti.
