Assemble a kit for Church World Service. Their brochure CWS Kit Guide explains how to assembly hygiene, school, baby care and emergency clean-up kits and how and where to ship them. Sign up for the Presbyterian Disaster Rapid Information Network and receive emails about urgent disaster assistance needs as well as current relief efforts.

Pray

Pray for the victims of the earthquake. Pray your own prayer, or use this one:

God of Compassion, Please watch over the people of Haiti, and weave out of these terrible happenings wonders of goodness and grace. Surround those who have been affected by tragedy with a sense of your present love, and hold them in faith. Though they are lost in grief, may they find you and be comforted. Guide us to find ways of providing assistance that heals wounds and provides hope. Help us to remember that when one of your children suffers, we all suffer. Through Jesus Christ, who was dead, but lives and rules this world with you. Amen
