Haiti Earthquake

It's hard to grasp all that has happened in Haiti due to the 7.0 earthquake that hit there on January 12th.  I do know this, God calls all of us to help in some way or form.   

Matthew 25:35-36, ³⁵For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'" 

So how can you help, who can you trust?  Here are two groups that I strongly believe in and trust to spend money given to them completely on the Haiti people.

Here is a link to some pictures from Haiti (click here) WARNING some of these are on the graphic side.

Group #1
The "International Mission Board (IMB)."  This is our Southern Baptist Mission Organization.  They are taking all their funds through "Baptist Global Response (BGR)."  You can read about the actions they are taking and give by clicking here:  (IMB-click)  (BGR-Click).  Both of these links take you to the same place to make a donation.

Group #2:
The other group is "Samaritan's Purse", which is run by Franklin Graham.  This is the organization that does "Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes" and many other mission works across the world.  When you click on the give link on their website a pop-up window with "Haiti Relief" comes up for you to put you donation in.  (Samaritan's Purse-click).

I'm sure there are other organizations that will do a great job, but I have been personally involved with both of these and completely trust them.
