Faith Bible Church, has multiple families from an active, like-minded
church in Santo Domingo, D.R. Our friend and fellow-FIRE member, Josue Raimundo, has regular ministry
there and long-term relationships. Relief, at least for some time, may need to be
channeled through Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
on the other side of the island from Port-au-Prince.
Together, our brothers are surveying the situation. They are seeking to
minister to and mobilize local Haitian believers for church-centered and
Christ-honoring relief
ministry.
We are all concerned that God receive glory in the midst of
this catastrophic tragedy. Doing so through reliable local churches should
solidify a witnessing presence and Christ-honoring testimony in the recipient communities
as well as place sound Haitian churches in a leading role in expressing
Christ's love
to a hurting nation on all our behalf.
Faith Bible Church has agreed to be an avenue for relief funds to be
channeled by Josue/IBSJ,
those funds to be administered under the general oversight of our
church, locally, and, on site, Josue along with leaders from our sister church (IBSJ) in
Santo Domingo for Haitian relief.
At this point, funds can be sent to Faith Bible Church earmarked for
"Haiti Relief". We will try to set up a PayPal donation web page (see below)
so that
people can give from overseas
or through credit/debit cards and bank
checks.
A link our our church Internet home page (www.FaithBibleChurch.us) will
go to the donation page
and from there, as the Lord enables, further news updates and financial
accountability
information.

4907 E. Highway 34

It is our intent that all funds so designated, less bank handling and
transmission expenses, will be used for Haiti Relief.
Josue is
attempting to raise separate funding for his major travel expense.
Faith Bible Church will serve those who want to participate in this way
for the immediate crisis.
However, we expect that our role will be to
expend or remit all funds received for the intended purposes within
twelve months from now.
Your servants in God's grace,
Faith Bible Church
