Storm Isaac Update August 2012

Hello Arkansas Baptists! Since January 2010, Arkansas Baptists have had a continuing presence in Haiti. Church planting, Training Rural Trainers, construction of permanent homes, evangelism, dental teams, medical teams, and many other ministries have taken place. To date, almost 90 separate teams have partnered with the ABSC, numbering almost 550 Arkansas Baptists. They have led some 4,300 people to Christ, including eight Voodoo priests!

Please pray for Arkansas Baptist Churches from Dewitt, Stuttgart, Jonesboro, Dardanelle, and Van Buren that have adopted geographic areas around our base and have on-going ministries in Haiti. Many other churches, associations and BCM's send in teams on an annual basis to work in areas as needed.

Just this last weekend, the folks we serve in the Leogane area had quite a setback from the storm named Isaac. We have reports of major flooding, food shortages, destroyed crops and more.

Please also pray for feeding efforts that have begun today. Our initial response of $5,000 will enable our partner to get much needed food to the neediest of victims.

If you are interested in ways you can help, please contact my assistant Jill Modlin at jmodlin@absc.org.

God bless you all and thanks for your prayers!
