21 Apr Over $155,000 Raised for Haiti Relief

Global Ministries is working through our two partnering organizations, Samaritan’s Purse and CH Global, to provide relief in Haiti. CH Global distributes relief supplies directly to our UB churches and their communities. To date, Global Ministries has received more than $133,000 for Haiti. Of that:

• $57,000 has been forwarded to Samaritan’s Purse.
• $40,000 has been forwarded to CH Global.
• $58,000 is being reserved for reconstruction efforts among our UB churches and members when the opportunity arises.

In addition, three other national conferences have directed contributions to Haiti:

• Jamaica: $6,000.
• Honduras: $900.
• Canada: $10,000.

Two of our churches destroyed during the earthquake need to be rebuilt. However, we’re uncertain as to when we’ll be able to send teams to assist in the construction, since shelter, supplies, and materials are scarce.
