Help Haiti Now with "Hearts and Hands
in Haiti" 
Below is a letter we received from Big Ticket speaker John Vermilya please read to find out how you can help Hearts and Hands in Haiti
Dear Friends,
The disastrous earthquake in Haiti has left those of us with Haitian roots numb
with grief. The rubble-covered streets in the news images are the streets I
grew up on. For many of us, it is like 9/11 all over again, except with over
10 times the loss of life and a much larger logistical nightmare to overcome.
I hope you will join me in moving from spectator to activist - because we can
help our Caribbean brothers and sisters, and they need it now more than ever.
Hearts & Hands in Haiti is an initiative to get relief, medical care, and
supplies to missionaries and relief workers already in Haiti. These missionaries
were committed to Haiti before the earthquake, and they will be there long after
the TV cameras leave. They know the people, the culture, the language, and the
situation on the ground, and are already leading the relief efforts at this
time. If we can get them on their feet we will truly be helping from the inside
out.
Hearts & Hands in Haiti is an emergency initiative of Shunem Ministries,
a 501c3 non-profit that provides support and care to foreign missionaries. Shunem
is a ministry I believe in, and is managed by members of my immediate family.
I am so grateful for the global relief efforts heading towards Haiti to alleviate
the suffering of the masses in Port-au-Prince. However, Hearts & Hands in
Haiti intends to target the support and care of those missionaries already on
the ground, and we are already getting requests for help.
CNN reported that the majority of missionaries and NGO workers that were offered
US Military flights out have refused - desiring instead to make their lives
matter when they are needed the most. Although I wish I could be there right
now to dig through the rubble alongside them, I believe that this initiative
is a wiser place to start. I beg you to do the same.
All contributions are tax-deductible and checks should be made out to Shunem
Ministries, with "Haiti" designated on the memo line. Send to: Shunem
Ministries, PO Box 1422, Noblesville, IN 46061. Please help get this word out
as you remember - and please pray for the precious people of Haiti.
Sincerely,
John Vermilya
