\u201cOut of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.\u201d \u2013 II Corinthians 8.2<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Global Church\u2014often out of extreme poverty– is welling up in rich generosity on behalf of the people suffering after Haiti\u2019s earthquake.<\/p>\n

In Cambodia, where most people live on less than $2 a day, a cell church attended by a World Relief staff member took up a collection.\u00a0 \u201cWhen I heard about the earthquake in Haiti, God touched my heart again. Our whole cell-church decided to give money to the people who are affected by this.\u00a0 We are happy that we can help,\u201d Sidara said.<\/p>\n

In China, World Relief\u2019s three staff members dug into their personal bank accounts and gave over $800\u2014sacrificially responding to the urgent needs of Haiti\u2019s people.<\/p>\n

A church of recently arrived Burmese refugees in High Point, North Carolina, took up a special offering for Haiti.\u00a0 The congregation\u2014often struggling to meet their own personal and church budgets\u2014presented a check to World Relief\u2019s affiliate director for more than $500.<\/p>\n

As churches from all over the world stand with Haiti, they are empowering the Haitian church to serve their communities.<\/p>\n

In Haiti, Pastor Jean Bathard Anthony stepped out in faith, opened up his church after the earthquake with the little water and food that he had.\u00a0 World Relief came alongside Pastor Jean, providing refuge, food and water for nearly 6,000 people in the community.<\/p>\n

As they share practical goods\u2014food, water and other basic needs\u2014the people of Haiti are experiencing the love of the Christ\u2014the love of the Church.<\/p>\n

As one Haitian partner pastor observed, \u201cWhen you provide for someone it will touch their heart.\u00a0 Then they will see the love of God in you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you for sharing the love of Christ with Haiti.<\/p>\n

Thank you for being the Church.<\/p>\n
