Haiti Earthquake
Jackson BonnettJackson Bonnett (pronounced Bow-net) is from Haiti and a full-time student at FSOP.

On Thursday, Jackson was finally able to contact some of his family in Haiti and found that, although his mom and dad had been spared, 3 family members had been killed, several were injured (at least one is in critical condition) and the family has one young child that has been missing since the quake. They have lost their homes and like so many are being forced to sleep on the streets.

Although we have not received a direct report, the Enoch Louis family has family in Haiti also and the Lord's church has a sizeable presence in that country. Be sure to keep the Haitian people in your daily prayers that God may see to the needs of the earthquake victims and especially to those of the household of faith.

Our Pantry
The Food Program fed 25 families this past Thursday, for a total of 70 people. We need the following items in order to restock:

    • Macaroni & Cheese
    • Tuna
    • Pork & Beans
    • Raimen Noodles
    • Peanut Butter

As always cash is also welcomed!
