In our last post, we reported that over $18,000 was raised through last Sunday's special offerings for Haiti.

Well, money has continued to come in, and currently we can now report raising over $23,400 for relief efforts in Haiti. These monies will be passed on to ERDO, the humanitarian relief arm of the PAOC and will be matched by the Canadian government through the CIDA grant announced last week. This means that almost $47,000 of relief will be heading to Haiti through PORTICO's generosity.

As noted in our last post, any of these funds that are distributed through the Canadian Food Grains Bank will be matched 4:1.

Thank you PORTICO! And continue to pray for Haiti and for missionaries Michel and Louise Charbonneau and Bob Thornley as they minster through this tragedy.
