HAITI UPDATE- 2-11-2010

Southern Baptist Disaster Relief is on the ground and functioning in Haiti!  SBCDR has established an Incident Command, has numerous medical teams operating across the affected area and has started doing assessments of homes and chaplaincy work with those families.  The conditions are still very harsh but SBCDR is beginning to help the Haitians look to their future, physically and spiritually.

Back home, Colorado Baptists are doing their part to assist in the recovery efforts as well:

From Colorado, Dolores Southern Baptist Church wrote the Baptist Global Response office to say they showed slides of the devastation in Haiti and took up an offering of $1,000 for Haiti relief. As the church treasurer, Colleen Smith, was organizing the money, a 9-year-old boy ran up to her and said, "Wait until I go to the van. I want to help." Read more

Thank you all for your continued prayer and your sacrificial gifts to this effort.  There have been a number of Colorado Baptist churches that I am aware of that have given to the relief efforts in Haiti and I am sure many more that I am not.  Below you will find the most current information regarding SBDR response to Haiti, with commentary in italics.


1. Southern Baptist (SB) Disaster Relief Operation

  • SB assessment team to return to Florida for debriefing on Tuesday.
  • SB Disaster Relief network to enter the strategy development phase.
  • SB Disaster Relief volunteers are not first responders (i.e. military, fire fighter, police officers, rescue & recovery teams).  While some of our volunteers may actually be first responders by trade/career, we are not a first response organization…we are a relief organization.  We will continue to support first responders but the bulk of OUR response will be over the long term.  It has been said, “When the cameras go home, we come in.”
