Massive Earthquake Hits Haiti

On Tuesday, January 12, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti. The devastation is the worst quake in 2 centuries. CBM/The Sharing Way is responding to this disaster through Baptist World Aid (BWA), Action through Churches Together (ACT) and the French Baptist Union. Your gifts to assist with this huge need are critical. Please also be in prayer for our many Haitian brothers and sisters in Christ here in Canada who are deeply concerned for their family members and friends in Haiti. To assist with this emergency, you may give through your offering envelope. Please mark Sharing Way Haiti Relief Fund. Canadian Government will match one to one any funds donated to our church. Or you may donate online at www.cbmin.org or call 905.821.3533, or send a cheque marked "Emergency Relief" to Canadian Baptist Ministries, 7185 Millcreek Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, L5N 5R4.
