We have read about the Haiti Earthquake… We have seen it on the news… Now let’s join together to help the people of Haiti.
Most of you have heard by now about the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti on Tuesday. Our hearts and prayers are with the Haitian people during this difficult time. But as a company we believe very much in action.
James tells us,
15 If a brother or sister is without clothes and lacks daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you don’t give them what the body needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way faith, if it doesn’t have works, is dead by itself.

That’s why we have teamed up with Living Water International and Mercy Water to help the people of Haiti. Watch to following video to learn more:
According to LWI,
“The most urgent need during the coming days and weeks will be water. Homes can take months to re-build, electricity can take weeks to restore, but people can’t last long without water.
Earthquakes destroy water systems. Pipelines break, electrical distribution systems fail, and hand-dug wells–—already questionable water sources–—are rendered useless or become contaminated with cholera, typhoid, and other waterborne diseases.”
“In Haiti, clean water is a terrible problem even at the best of times,” said LWI Executive Director Gary Evans. “After a quake like this, it’s a crisis of epic proportions.”

- Blogs & Twitter – Put your social networking skills into action. We encourage you to blog, tweet and update your status’ to raise support for Haiti. If you are a youth minister, this is a great way for your kids to help out. Feel free to use any of the links above in your posts. You can also link directly to the Living Water International donation page with this link : http://www.water.cc/initiatives/haiti/
Most of all help us raise support for Haiti by donating and encouraging others to do the same.
At Nspire, we have chosen water as a way to help because it is the most basic and essential of human needs. Water is something most of us never have to worry about going without and with the Haiti people already having a terrible problem accessing clean water… An earthquake just makes finding clean water all the more difficult.
But it doesn’t have to be that way… We can make a difference. Our donations, no matter how small or large to us, mean life to the people of Haiti. Help us make a difference… today.
Together we can reach out with the love of Christ to the people of Haiti… thank you for being a part of making a difference.
