Externally Focused at Watermark

Thank you to the dozens of Watermark members who have reached out to us, asking what you can do as a part of the body of Christ to help the victims of Tuesday’s earthquake in Haiti.  We want you to know that we are prayerfully considering our corporate response to these dire circumstances. Over the last few days, Watermark’s leadership has been in near constant contact with our key ministry partners (World Vision and others) and our friends on the ground in Haiti, including a conference call with those in Port-au-Prince who are assessing the situation firsthand.  We are taking all the necessary steps to ensure that every dollar and every minute invested in the relief effort honors God and is reviewed wisely.  Ultimately, we believe that a corporate response from Watermark will allow us all to make a long-term impact in Haiti for Kingdom purposes, so we hope that you will join with us in the relief efforts that we participate in with our ministry partners.

We hope to update you fully on Sunday with ways that you can be involved in the relief efforts and the long term recovery for the people of Haiti.  Our goal is to deploy people with specific skill sets within the Watermark body in the coming days who will be instrumental to care for the physical and spiritual needs of the people of Haiti. In the meantime, please join with us as we continue to pray for the victims, their families, the relief workers who will be traveling to Haiti, our partners at the leadership level who are making decisions, in-country church and organizational leaders, and us, as we discern how God would have us respond.
