Johnson Ferry’s Response to the Earthquake in Haiti:
Thank you so much to all of you who donated to disaster relief help in Haiti. To date, we have received $50,787.33 designated for relief work in Haiti.
How is Johnson Ferry responding to the tremendous need in Haiti?
We forwarded funds collected to the following three ministries:
- Samaritan’s Purse
- Mission for Haiti
- Baptist Global Response
All of these ministries are not only responding to the urgent physical needs but also responding to deep spiritual needs through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We have sent two assessment teams in early February to work with our long-time ministry partners Adventures in Missions (AIM). These JF teams traveled to Haiti from a host location in the Dominican Republic.
Short-term Mission Trip Interest
If you are interested in serving on one of these short-term mission trip teams, please register your name online. We are compiling a list of names and will communicate with you once opportunities are solidified. We especially need people with medical skills.
We are still accepting donations for Disaster Relief efforts in Haiti devastated by the recent earthquake. If you would like to contribute, you can make a donation online or by check payable to Johnson Ferry Baptist Church with a note for "Disaster Relief-Haiti". Checks can be taken to the business office or mailed to Johnson Ferry.
