This question presents one conclusion—caring for the least of these is foundational to belief. CAMA (Compassion and Mercy Associates) is the relief and development arm of The Alliance and provides aid for people in crisis situations. There are many ways you can make a difference in someone’s life. CAMA is gearing up to assist survivors of the 7.0 earthquake that destroyed Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital, on January 12. According to a CNN report, the death toll may top 100,000. The hospitals are gone, and medical supplies are desperately needed. About 3 million people—one-third of Haiti’s population—were impacted by the quake. In partnership with sister organizations already on the ground, CAMA will provide immediate assistance—including clean water, emergency shelter, medical aid, and other necessities—as well as long-term help in rebuilding efforts, integrating Jesus’ message of redemption with practical acts of compassion.

The Missions Committee needs your help collecting items each month for Operation Christmas Child. At the end of the year, these items will be used to make shoeboxes. You may also make your own shoeboxes if you feel led to do so. Check the bulletin or website each month to see what type of item is being collected.
January — We will be collecting hats and gloves for children ages 2-14.
If you are able to purchase the items listed, please bring them with you and place them in the box in the foyer. If you have any questions, please see Barbara Moran. Thank you for your support!!
