Hey Cross Point,

First of all I want to thank you guys for being so generous with your giving to Samaritans Purse, who has been doing great work in Haiti. I told you guys on Sunday we would let you know as soon as we figured out some next steps.

We’re excited to announce we’re now partnering with GO Ministries, who we’ve been working with the past 7 years in the Dominican Republic.

Currently they’re focusing their efforts in Jacmel, a small town just 30 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince. Supplies collected will be flown into this community next week.

THIS WEEKEND AT ALL 3 CAMPUSES we’ll be collecting items. Here’s the list of supplies we’ll be collecting. Thanks in advance for pulling together and helping this community who desperately needs the light of Christ during this dark time.

If you have any questions at all please contact Ryan Bult, our Director of Missions, at ryan@crosspoint.tv
