Community of Christ Assistance to Haiti Earthquake Relief

Bishop of Canada, Dar Shepherdson, reports that many people have been inquiring as to how they can contribute financially to help support the church community in Haiti during this time of need. It is recommended that contributions be made through the normal channels:

• Through the Giving Link on the church website
• Sending cheques to: Community of Christ, 355 Elmira Road North, Unit 129, Guelph, ON N1K 1S5
• Through the CanadaHelps.org Link (for “Fund” select “Worldwide Mission Tithes”)
• Sending e-transfers to: Heather@CommunityOfChrist.ca (indicate purpose: Haiti Relief, Worldwide Mission Tithes)

 
Apostle Art Smith, who is also the church’s supervising apostle for Haiti, has recently provided the following information:
 
Friends, I’m deeply appreciative of all those who have shared concern for Haiti. I’ve logged hundreds of public messages on Facebook as well as many private messages from church members around the world and from world church leaders. I have been sharing about this with our leaders in Haiti and with those in the most impacted areas. It really makes a difference.
 
I also know that many have asked how to give for the needs in Haiti. I have a high degree of confidence that one of the most effective ways to get help to the people that need it in the days to come will be through our network of church leaders. They are people of high integrity and they operate at the grassroots level as they connect with congregations through pastors and congregation financial officers.
 
We are blessed to be able to offer this sort of oblation support, funded by our world mission tithes. The best way to ensure that we have capacity to respond to the needs in Haiti right now is to give to World Mission Tithes. Increased giving at this time will allow us to respond to increased need.
 
Thank you to everyone around the world. Together we can do this.
