The Quake
International aid is pouring into Haiti in a race to save and assist those impacted by the last week's earthquake. The AP is reporting as many as 200,000 may have died, with that many more injured and over 1 million left homeless.

CFI Impact
While the quake gave the campus a shake, we are thankful that no damage or injuries have been discovered on campus or in Ranquitte. While Ivy and the CFI leaders are OK, we lost two students attending college in Port-au-Prince (PAP).

CFI Agriculture Director George Derval traveled to PAP the week of the quake and reported immense damage. "There is no more Port-au-Prince," he told me. The government is still requiring all schools to remain closed.

George has reported over 600 quake victims have come to Ranquitte and we planned together how we can best help them.

Because of the scope of this catastrophe, CFI is being called on to respond in a number of ways, including providing food, clothing, medical personnel, medical supplies, transportation and more. This aid is being targeted to (but not limited to) those connected with our mission/community, because those are the people we can reach most efficiently and effectively. More Info.

How You Can Help
I appreciate so much that we have already had numerous  people call, email and message us to ask how they can help. If you want to make a difference, see the donation box on the right for several options.

And please remember to pray for Haiti.

Yours in Christ,

Scott Mandl
Executive Director
