The Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC) is actively engaged
in a response effort to assist the people of Haiti who experienced
the horrific 7.3 earthquake on Tuesday, January 12, 2010.
• The ABSC is in contact with the Florida Baptist Convention
which is leading the SBC’s response to the tremendous needs
of the people.
• The ABSC is communicating with Disaster Relief Units
throughout the U.S. in the planning and staging of a Disaster
Relief response.
• The ABSC has placed radio operators on standby to assist
with the early communication problems.
Presently these are some vital ways that UBC may assist in the
disaster response to Haiti:
• Pray for the victims and the early assessment teams as they
arrive and develop the ground response.
• Due to the fluidity of the crisis, donations get needed materials to
the affected area much faster.
Giving Opportunities
• Checks designated for Haiti relief can be given to UBC.
• Credit card gifts can be given by calling the Missions Ministries
Team of the ABSC at 1-800-838-2272
• Going online at absc.org
