Help Provide Food for Haiti's Hungry

This just in from Scott Mandel at Christian Flights International:

Dear CFI Leaders,

We try to be careful in asking for finances as we know many of you are already giving what you can and as God leads. But the recent storms have provided a critical need and a special opportunity.

As such, we will be sending some special wires to Ranquitte to provide some critically-needed relief.

Below is a request written by CFI Team Leader and Buildings and Grounds Director Eddie Arnold. You can help with a check (address below) or by clicking on the donate link on our website and noting this is for Hurricane Relief.

We have provided some Hurricane Info on the home page link above, as well as a link to a video and news article.

Of course, we will continue to help with those long-term needs through our school, clinic, ag-reforestation, wells and homes projects, but wanted to give you a chance to help the immediate need.

Your prayers and response are much appreciated!

Dear CFI Board
Members and Friends,

I am writing you today to ask for your prayers and/or financial support for the village of Ranquitte, Haiti. The devastation caused by three hurricanes has left the village flooded, homes damaged or destroyed, and gardens washed away. As you know, these gardens supply the main source of food to these families.

Life is often hard in the mountain village of Ranquitte, but the toll that these repetitive storms have taken on the land and the people has caused damage that will not easily be repaired.

Ranquitte Mayor George Derval said that these “winter storms” have taken over the land and that his people are hungry. He would like to provide beans and rice to the people immediately.

The people of Ranquitte need our help. Susan and I approached our church and asked for help through prayers and funds. God provided. We ask that you do the same thing in your communities.

Time is of the essence. We plan to send an initial money wire the first of this week, and then a second wire when additional funds are provided. If you would like to help, please send checks made out to: Christian Flights International, and marked for “hurricane relief.” The full mailing address is below. If you have questions or would like additional information, you can reach me at https://owa.eku.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=ab23078ca5e249d39a4755ed4361c0c6&URL=mailto%3aeddiearnold%40hotmail.com
or by calling (859) 936-9520.

Sincerely,

Eddie Arnold
