DR work in Haiti continues

Beginning this month, the SBTC will be assisting Baptist Global Response, the International and North American mission boards, and Florida Baptists in rebuilding areas around partner churches in Haiti with concrete block homes.

SBTC DR Director Jim Richardson said the projects are good mission opportunities for Adult Sunday School classes, churches, and associations. The projects are scheduled to be ongoing through July.

SBTC volunteers are also partnering with disaster relief teams from Oklahoma to provide hand-driven pumps for existing water wells on church-owned property and pastors homes in Haiti. These teams will also be serving with Haitians to drill or hand-dig wells that have been closed by the recent earthquake.

For more information on how to volunteer, contact Richardson by e-mail at jrichardson@sbtexas.com or by phone at 940-704-9346.
