Home / Participate / Missions / Haiti Relief

 On January 12th a massive earthquake hit Haiti causing untold damage. Working together we can make a difference. Cape Cod Church has been working with 2 missionary families on the Island of Hispaniola (Haiti is 1/2 of the Island) the Lane's and the Franklin's. Those families are mobilizing their churches and people to quickly help on the ground - We can help them!

Together we are calling this relief effort "The Bucket of Hope" . These will be 5 gallon buckets filled with enough essentials to support a family of 4 in Haiti for at least 3 days. (See list of items below). These items are quickly accessible in the neighboring Dominican Republic, making it possible to help people quickly. Each bucket costs approximately $60 US Dollars. These buckets will be brought directly to needy families in effected areas of Haiti.

This weekend in addition to our regular offering I want to ask you to give towards this offering in a generous way. By doing so we can make a difference in relieveing the suffering of people who we may never meet, but Jesus loves deeply.

Update from Tom Franklin

We were up late last night again organizing the filling over 100
BucketFulls of Hope.  They are all now filled (Over 300+ man hours -
should be less on the next batch), we still lack the stenciling or
stickers ect. that will facilitate there transport - that should be
completed shortly.  We changed the contents by eliminating the pasta
and peas (I'm not a fan of peas) and adding 5 more cans of sardines
and 4 more cans of sausages.  This decision was made because we have
reports of people not being able to cook food.  We did not want to
eliminate the rice and beans because it is the "everyday staple" used
in Haiti.  In addition the 4 oz Bottle of Water Purifying Drops was
eliminated due to the fact we can not find enough. A smaller
flashlight with batteries and a larger roll of duct tape was included
to take its place. We shaved over $1000 (close to 20%) off the first
100 with volume discounts and now know they will come to less than
$50.  Hallelujah!!   However I'm going to hold to the $60 price for
shipping purposes and want to include water in our first shipment. I
have no idea how much it is going to cost to move 2500 lbs or so into
Haiti until we do it. Wes and I agreed before they left that we would
hold until safe transportation and a secure staging area was
established. They are busy doing that and we are ready to roll.  The
biggest problem now looks like fuel.  That to me seems like the
biggest prayer need after Wesley and Melina's safety.

Got to go preach and lead the troops,

Tom

P.S. Seven more people were found as of this morning.  YOUR PRAYERS
ARE WORKING!!
