WMU NC encourages everyone to support relief efforts in Haiti. Here are two ways you can help:

• Visit www.baptistsonmission.org to find ways you can help insure the people of Haiti receive both physical and spiritual care by supporting the efforts of NC Baptist Men. You also may track their progress, read specific prayer requests and find links to pictures of the work being done by following NCBMHaitiRelief on Twitter or ncbmhaitirelief on Facebook.
• Donate to national WMU's HEART Fund (Humanitarian Emergency Aid for Rebuilding Tomorrow), which allows national WMU and the WMU Foundation to respond to requests from WMU leaders across the country and around the world during emergencies and natural disasters. For more info, click here.
