Haiti Earthquake Appeal

A massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, the capital of impoverished Haiti on Tuesday, causing widespread death and destruction and leaving relief workers scrambling to pull people from the rubble.

Over three million people are estimated to have been affected by the powerful quake, leaving homes and schools in ruins, destroying infrastructure and trapping people in the debris. The city is without electricity and the telephone network has broken down. The UN headquarters has collapsed and people are sitting in the streets with nowhere to go. While a full assessment is still ongoing, thousands are estimated dead with millions of dollars of damage.

PWS&D Responds - PWS&D is responding to this emergency situation through the Action by Churches Together Alliance. ACT staff on the ground are carrying out assessments of damage and the needs of survivors. While international aid is being flown in, ACT has been working on the ground from the moment the earthquake occurred. ACT is planning to send a rapid support team of at least a response coordinator, a communicator, two water and sanitation experts and a finance expert. ACT members are also preparing to send water and sanitation materials, hygiene kits, and psychosocial workers to the devastated area.

You Can Help - The people of Haiti need your prayers and financial support to bring hope and relief. Congregations and individuals are encouraged to bring help to the situation by making a donation to PWS&D. Donations can be added to Knox’s regular offering envelopes. Mark the center section of the envelope 'Haiti Relief' and indicate the amount or donate online.

Presbyterian World Service & Development is the development and relief agency of The Presbyterian Church in Canada.

We are delighted to welcome our theme speaker, Rev. Dr. Nancy Cocks, who is presently Senior Minister at St. John's Presbyterian Church in Medicine Hat, where she was baptized several years ago and is also author of the series of books on Fergie the Frog.

The theme this year is God's Grace Through the Generations. Drawing on the research for book growing up with God and on work she did at VST in children's and adolescent spirituality, Nancy will lead us on how to interact with younger generations in a variety of roles and relationships.
