    Dear United Methodist Friends,
    United Methodist Communications is working to provide timely and relevant information about how The
    United Methodist Church is responding to the tragic earthquake in Haiti and how United Methodists can
    support these efforts. United Methodists have had a long-standing relationship with Haiti through the
    Methodist Church of Haiti.

    The United Methodist News Service has already posted stories on the tragedy and will have ongoing
    coverage about United Methodist mission teams that are in Haiti, response efforts by the United
    Methodist Committee on Relief, and what local churches are doing to provide aid. Stay tuned to
    UMCOR For Haiti Information and Donation Information.
    Support for relief efforts can be made to Haiti Emergency, UMCOR Advance # 418325.

    100% of gifts to UMCOR through the Advance support the designated
    project.

    Here are other resources available for churches and members who want to help:
                      
    Volunteers and Health Kits
    According to UMCOR  United Methodist Committee on Relief), there will be a great need for volunteers
    to help rebuild once the initial crisis is past, but it is not safe or possible for volunteers to go to Haiti at
    the present. However, UMCOR's two relief supply warehouses are asking United Methodists to provide
    health kits that will be sent to Haiti. Instructions for assembling and shipping health kits are available
    here .
                      
    Donations
    We are grateful that donations continue to come in online .Donors may also contribute by placing a
    check in the offering plate at a local church or by mailing it to UMCOR, P.O. Box 9068, New York, NY
    10087. Checks should indicate "Advance #418325" in the memo line.  United Methodist
    Communications is creating a special bulletin insert for churches' use, which will be available Friday
    at www.umc.org/haiti.
                      
    Ministry Resources
    Following the Asian tsunami, United Methodist Communications produced a video and study guide
    titled "God, Why?" to help people cope with the spiritual and emotional impact of disasters. The
    resource, available from EcuFilm , explores why such tragedies happen and God's role in them.  The
    study guide provides a basis for group study and discussion.
                      
    During this time of pain and suffering, let us take comfort in the promise of Psalm 46:1, NRSV: "God is
    our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
