Haiti Earthquake Relief

The earthquake in Haiti has been catastrophic. Immediate assistance is needed. The River is part of the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) which has a Disaster Response unit already on the scene in Haiti. To read about what they are doing, click here. To donate online, click here. 100% of your contribution will go directly to aiding victims. My wife and I are giving, and we hope you will too.

Today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution described this scene: "Those gathering ouside tents, on lawn chairs, sitting in the middle of empty streets, sang their hymns. One phrase in Creole could be heard repeatedly both inside and outside the hospital walls, as if those voicing the words were trying to make sense of the madness around them. 'Beni Swa Leternel,' they sang. 'Blessed be the Lord.'"

The people of Haiti are counting on God. And God is counting on you.

Thank you for your prayers, your gift, and your partnership.

-Pastor Scott
