Hurricane Relief for the Caribbean

A succession of devastating hurricanes struck the Caribbean this fall, killing dozens and leaving many thousands homeless. ABWE missionaries are partnering with national pastors and church leaders in Grenada and Jamaica to provide relief to those in need of shelter, food, and other basic necessities of life.

Several years ago, ABWE ministered to Nicaraguans devastated by Hurricane Mitch. That effort led to the establishment of a new ministry for ABWE, which has grown to include several missionary couples, a camp/conference center, and expansion into nearby Costa Rica. God could multiply your gift in the same way in Grenada and Jamaica.

ABWE has advanced funds from our general relief account to help get relief efforts started. We need $25,000 immediately, and could use more than $100,000 over the next few months. Please pray about becoming a part of this compassion ministry. Church members may wish to talk to your pastor or missions chairman about involving your congregation. All gifts will be used for relief and compassion evangelism efforts.

Donations may be mailed to ABWE, PO Box 8585, Harrisburg, PA 17105, or in Canada, ABWE Canada, 980 Adelaide Street S., Suite #34, London, ON N6E 1R3. Mark your check “Hurricane Ivan.” You may also donate online, or get updated information about the relief efforts, at www.abwe.org/give/hurricane . If you prefer, you can call (717) 774-7000 to make a credit card donation. Ask for Donor Services credit card giving department.
