Haiti Response:

We have received our first request from NAMB for DR volunteers to go to Haiti.  Two of our men will be flying out this Saturday morning to do water purification for other Southern Baptist DR volunteers on-site. 
Please be in prayer for them as they travel to and from Haiti.
Pray that they will be safe while serving there.
Please pray that they will be able to share their faith with the people of Haiti.

Buckets of Hope:

Deadline for the buckets is March 8, so that we have a week to gather them from around the state by March 15.
Collection sites for the Buckets of Hope are being secured now.  As soon as we have a complete list we will post them so you will know the closest drop-off point.
If you want specific information about this project, please visit: www.namb.net/bucketsofhope.

Disaster Relief Training:

We have had tremendous response to the upcoming Disaster Relief Phase 1 training offered at Hebron Baptist Church in Dacula.  Approximately 750 people are signed up.
Please pray that it will be a quality, Christ-centered event.
Please pray that those who attend will understand the ministry of Disaster Relief and know if they are called to it or not.

Do's and Don'ts:

* Remember to pray often for Haitians and for relief efforts.

* Do Not collect clothing and other goods.  There might be an effort later on to do this, but right now there is no system in place to receive or distribute those goods in country. 

* Give generously to the Haiti Relief fund through Dr. White's office.  (**See information below.)

* Encourage people to get trained in Disaster Relief.

* Start working on a passport if you have any thoughts about going in the future

* Get trained/recertified in Disaster Relief so that as opportunities arise we will be able to respond with a solid volunteer base.
