Church Response to Haiti Earthquake

SALT LAKE CITY 13 January 2010 We express our sympathy and prayers on behalf of the citizens of Haiti following the recent devastating earthquake. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is immediately shipping humanitarian relief, including personal hygiene kits and supplies for newborns. Efforts are underway to determine further humanitarian response in coordination with government and disaster relief organizations. Donations for relief efforts can be made at http://give.lds.org/emergencyresponse.

All missionaries serving in the country are safe, and we continue efforts to account for Church members in the area.

I belong to the church that ships immediate relief--not only humanitarian, but spiritual relief too. And that makes me proud (but I suppose it humbles me too).
