Projects for the Last Letter Lifestyle
Our desire is to recapture the passion and dedication of those who have sacrificed everything to bring justice in Jesus’ name. Take up your crosses daily and follow Jesus … into the slums of India, into the HIV hospices of Africa, into child labor rackets in the far East, into waterless villages, into garbage-dump cities, into lands ruled by extremist regimes, into the least-reached villages and into the most crime-ridden neighborhoods in our cities.
Earth Relief - Baptist Global Response
HAITI
The world’s heart breaks for the people of Haiti as they grieve for loved ones, home and whole communities lost in the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti. Needs there will continue long after the crisis has moved out of the headlines.
Baptist Global response is coordinating a three-pronged assessment team planning to go into Haiti the week of Jan. 18 to connect with Haitian Baptist leaders and craft plans for disaster relief efforts in the aftermath of the 7.0 earthquake.You can respond in three ways.
WorldCrafts
WorldCrafts makes a difference . . . for victims of modern-day slavery. Each year, by force, fraud, or coercion, millions of people find themselves trapped in bonded labor and sexual exploitation. WorldCrafts artisan groups are working to end these evils by providing a sustainable income to people in poverty. When earning a living wage, parents are less likely to be seduced by a sex trafficker’s poison promises regarding their daughter’s future. And young women hoping for a better life are less likely to fall prey to criminals seeking to use and abuse the most vulnerable.
