"So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith."
- Galatians 6:10
The earthquake in Haiti has devastated and destroyed their churches. Pastors Mark Driscoll and James MacDonald took a fact-finding trip to Haiti to get the story of the churches. They returned and preached a message to their respective churches reporting about the death and devastation that they saw.We watched Pastor Driscoll's message on 3/31. If you missed it, you can watch it here.

We plan to watch Pastor MacDonald's message on 9/1. Driscoll and MacDonald formed the organization, Churches Helping Churches. Mt. Zion will be joining these churches across the country to help rebuild churches in Haiti. We will donate 10% of our yearly love offering to Churches Helping Churches. We are asking that you give generously to the love offering. Consider giving more (like a 10% increase ) to the love offering. Consider how you can sacrifice to give more to the love offering (like giving up a coffee, a lunch, etc).
Another way that you can do more is to purchase tents for the people of Haiti. The rainy and hurricane season is about to start and they need good, reliable, water-proof tents as temporary shelter from the rain. Please go to aHomeinHaiti to donate a tent.
Who will help the church? Despite our economy, the American church is greatly blessed and should help our brothers and sisters in Haiti.
