Buckets of Hope for Haiti Update

Remember all those white buckets you filled and sent out?
It's good to know that we have been part of a great outpouring of aid for Haiti.

Here is an update on the Buckets of Hope for Haiti project:
KY Baptists collected 9,650 buckets with 300,000 lbs of food valued at $400,000 worth of relief effort! All buckets have made it to Miami and are being sent to Haiti.

In addition, the Kentucky Baptist Convention has received nearly $150,000 of cash donations with $50,000 sent to the Florida Baptist Convention and the rest primarily spent on food and medical supplies. 8 Kentucky Baptist Disaster Relief teams have been sent (40 individuals) since the earthquake. Two additional teams are scheduled to be sent in April. In addition to these groups several KY Baptist churches have sent groups to Haiti through connections that they have established over the years.

Mission Trip fund raisers

Thanks to everyone who has been participating in the fund raisers for the Dominican Republic mission trip! The photography and the Pampered Chef events have been big successes and the team appreciates your work and generosity! Remember that this is not "for" the team members - but is an effort of our whole church community to reach out to the Dominican Republic. Some are going, but all of us are involved. And the Holy Spirit is energizes, motivates and unifies us in working toward the goal.
