No doubt, many of you are watching the news for updates on the disaster relief efforts going on in Haiti. If you are wondering what you can do to help, visit www.pcusa.org/pda/. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is one of the organizations supported by the One Great Hour of Sharing collections that generally take place during Lent. Thanks to that support, PDA is often able to be among the first responders around the world.
Right now, the best way to help PDA and other relief organizations (Red Cross, etc) is with financial contributions. Good cash flow helps to purchase equipment and supplies in the immediate aftermath.
What makes PDA unique among other relief organizations? One thing is that they are able to offer the spiritual nurture and care people need not only in the midst of immediate trauma, but over the long haul in the recovery process. PDA also is able to give longterm commitment to the recovery efforts in situations like Haiti's recent earthquake or the Gulf Coast.
Don't forget that there is power in prayer! For those who are searching for words to pray, a wonderful prayer posted online at www.pcusa.org that you can use to get started.
