Emmanuel responds to Hurricane Matthew Baptist church raises nearly $20,000, takes active role in ongoing relief effort Bloomfield’s Emmanuel Baptist Church remembered its friends in their time of need following the devastation of Hurricane Matthew. Last Sunday, congregants gave nearly $20,000 to help the relief effort for Haiti to clean up after the categoryfour hurricane whipped through Oct. 4 with 145 mileper-hour winds. Rain and flash flooding associated with the storm caused mudslides, damaging homes, roads, bridges and crops. Some 350,000 people have been affected. A team from Emmanuel Baptist was recently in Haiti to set up a computer school to train young people to get jobs. The church reports that school was not damaged, however, the LaMardelle region where the missionaries were was impacted and there is tremendous need. Roads are impassable and a lack of clean water has increased the threat of disease. Pastor Peter Spragg said the church immediately wanted to help. “In Canada, we have been blessed with so much. Jesus tells us to feed the hungry, take care of the poor, and care for those in need,” he said. “We have developed a relationship with the organization Mission of Tears and we

will be working with them.” Mission of Treats has people on the ground working in Haiti and Emmanuel has worked with them in developing an immediate response and a long-term aid plan. The church will send over a team
trained in construction and medicine. They will clear 10 kilometres of road and deliver water, food, tents, and medical supplies. Spragg said active involvement allows the church to be certain local money goes where it is needed most. “By being actively involved, we can guarantee that 100 per cent of the money we raise goes to the people in need and the help we give will make an immediate difference to the people.” Those interested in helping with the effort can call the church at 613-969-7571 or visit the web site www.emmanuellife.com and click on the Hurricane Matthew relief link. -Staff
