Haiti Benefit Concert/Haitian Relief
First off, let me say thank you to all the faithful readers of this blog who reached out to me the past few weeks. It's been an emotional roller coaster-but in the midst of it all-God is still in control!
I received word that my father, his family members, and mother's family are all safe--except one cousin of mine who tragically died. I did not know him-but please pray for my family. I was under the impression that my father was in another part of Haiti which was not affected-but he called my mother and told her that he was indeed at the epicenter of the earthquake and that he's alright! They've all been sleeping in the streets due to the tumultuous after shocks.
If you are in the New Jersey/New York Area, I am a planning the first of a series of Benefit Concerts, the first (details below).
Saturday January 30, 2010
"Fountain Baptist Church"
116 Glenside Avenue
Summit, NJ 07901
6-9pm
If you are able to attend, I am asking people to bring water, diapers, baby formula, sanitary products (soap, toothpaste) etc, non-perishable items, energy bars, rice, and beans.
God calls us to act and help the least amongst us-not sit around and wait for someone or an institution.
Tomorrow isn't promised to any of us. Yeah, it sounds kinda hackneyed, right? Well, many people woke up on January 12, 2010-- in Haiti-- not knowing that it would be their last morning. Remember not to take your lives for granted! Please...if you remember anything from this blog-hopefully it's that!
