Dear Church Family, 

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is responding with aid to the earthquake in Haiti through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and its partners. Additionally, Presbyterian World Mission is gathering information on the safety and status of our mission personnel and ecumenical partners in the area. For updates on the earthquake and the church’s response, please visit PDA. Initial reports indicate a large number of casualties and widespread damage especially in the capital city of Port-au-Prince.

You, too, can be part of God’s answer to prayer for those affected by this disaster. Information on the situation and prayers and worship resources are available through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. Funds from One Great Hour of Sharing are already helping with the initial response. You can give to the ongoing relief through PDA account number DR000064.

This message comes from our denomination and is a reminder of the partnership in ministry we have with those who can respond quickly to needs in the world. Please join with us as we continue to pray for those all over the world who are affected by this disaster.

Peace in Christ,

Your Pastors and Leaders of Whitworth Presbyterian Church
