Currently, Faith Alliance Church is raising funds through a Capital Campaign for the repair of the church roof. A Chest of Joash is located at the back of the sanctuary and money is collected weekly for this purpose. The goal of the Capital Campaign is to raise $52,500.00. To date, 50.7% of the goal has been reached through faithful givers. A total of $26,625.09 has been collected towards the repair of the church roof.

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.
