Haiti Disaster Response

January 16, 2010

in Extra

Hi everyone! Carrie and I are both doing very well and we’re working on our January newsletter that will be out to you soon.

In the meantime we wanted to pass on some information about how you can join Campus Crusade’s response to the ongoing disaster in Haiti.

Even as the search to rescue people in the rubble turns into a recovery effort there are still hundreds of thousands of people now homeless, hungry, sick and possibly injured. Regardless of the reason WHY God allowed this to happen, our response needs to be filtered through the words of our Lord:

Matthew 25:40
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

You may or may not know about the Global Aid Network (GAiN), but it is the humanitarian aid arm of Campus Crusade. Currently there is already a group of GAiN staff in the suffering island nation as well as the campus ministry team that is there to reach their own college students (the last I heard, the national director still had not located one of his parents).

The need from this disaster creates a need that surpasses political and ideological barriers. Please join us in giving by going to http://GAiNusa.org and share as the Lord would lead you.

Thank you for reading and, we’ll be sharing with you again soon!

Here’s a clip from his talk the first evening.

We do not merit any part of our salvation! This is the Good News!!

Tim Keller is the pastor at Tenth Presbyterian Church in New York City and the author of one of the best books about explaining the Gospel to our friends and neighbors today – The Reason for God. I’d recommend anything with his name on it.

Levels of Belief (Statement of Faith)

July 13, 2009

I forgot one relatively major thing in the last post that is vital to understanding pretty much any Statement of Faith, and important to understanding the things that Campus Crusade for Christ has included in ours. In a healthy representation of a person or groups faith there are three relatively distinct levels of belief or [...]

The CCC statement of faith begins: The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible, God’s infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments.

Last week we talked about [...]
