Bring Relief to Haiti Update & Video

[Fri, January 29, 2010]

Dear Friends,

We have all been touched by the news of the recent Earthquake in Haiti. It is estimated that as many as 200,000 Haitians, foreign workers, and tourists have lost their lives and many more are suffering with serious injuries. They are lacking food, water and shelter. A country that was already in the worst of conditions has been completely devastated by this quake.

I am coming to you with an urgent plea to partner with us as we partner with our friends at Compassion Canada (www.compassion.ca) to do what we can to help our brothers and sisters in Haiti. There are more than 2500 compassion children who have been sponsored through our students at our YC's and many of them are from Haiti.

Our friends at Compassion are tirelessly assisting in the relief effort of the earthquake victims.
Prior to this disaster, Compassion has been working with local churches there for more than 40 years to ensure that Children are getting an education, food and the spiritual training they need. After all the emergency support agencies have pulled out, The Compassion ministries will continue to be a lifeline to thousands of Haitians and are committed to helping rebuild the precious lives and ministries in that country.

We must do what we can to help the people of Haiti.

For every dollar an individual donates through our ministry, The Government of Canada will match that dollar and therefore double your contribution but only up until February 12, 2010. (www.acdi-cida.gc.ca/acdi-cida/ACDI-CIDA.nsf/eng/CEC-11475659-H7P) In addition, Extreme Dream Ministries will also match your giving until February 12, 2010 up to a maximum of $25,000. This triples your contribution. An example: $10.00 gift now becomes $30.00.


If you would like to participate in this project then please visit the Extreme Dream Website www.extremedream.ca and click on our Donate button. It will take you to our Canada Helps giving page. Please follow the Canada Helps instructions and ensure that you select the "Haiti Relief" from the fund designation list. From there you simply fill out your information and the amount in which you would like to donate.

Thank you for your generous gift, as together we stand with the people of Haiti in this their greatest hour of need.


Blessings,
Mike Love
Executive Director, Extreme Dream Ministries
