Here's a snip from an email I recieved two days after the earthquake"
"Mr. Shelby said one Illinois Baptist was already scheduled to help
provide food for Haiti. "Illinois disaster relief committed some
time ago to use one of our semi trucks to transport 20 tons of food to
Miami for a Christian relief agency called Hope for the Children of
Haiti," Shelby said. ..."
So far the donations have been doubled.
My parish had adopted a Haitian parish a couple of decades ago. We've
been supporting them for years with missions and cash. The most
interesting part is that when you go on a mission, to help the
parishioners, you go loaded with luggage but, when you come back you
return with just the clothes on your back.
I'm not including Catholic missions in my comments. For the most part,
Catholics are tending to their already existing flocks, and not trying
to convert Protestants.
Why not, we converted the whole of the Caribbean, central and south
America.
