A message from Martin Nicholls of Christian Aid

You can find more on the Christian Aid Website.

 

Dear Friends,

 

We have all been moved and challenged by the images and stories following earthquake in Haiti. Our Christian Aid staff on the ground tell us that the survivors sit in the dust and rubble wondering where help might come from, and how much more suffering they can take. The population had barely begun to recover from the hurricanes that took so many lives and livelihoods and now this…

 

Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas with 70% of the population having no formal job, land or tools to survive. Christian Aid supports livelihood projects to help people feed themselves and their families and also prepare for disasters before they strike – Haiti’s rapid deforestation has helped to increase the severity of the country’s frequent hurricanes.

 

The earthquake, measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale, has devastated Haiti, leaving thousands dead and many more buried alive. The quake struck 15km southwest of the capital Port-au-Prince. The Christian Aid office building collapsed and our staff had to be rescued from the rubble. They are shaken but safe and are now working tirelessly to help those still trapped, injured and left homeless.

 

In the area in which the Christian Aid offices once stood 97% of the buildings have been completely destroyed. The need for water, food, and body bags for the many corpses littering the streets is very urgent indeed.

 

I am calling all the churches, community groups, schools, businesses and individuals across Devon and the South West to join us in putting words into action and to give as generously as we can to help those left with nothing. We have the capacity to create a wave of compassion across the region.  We have done it before, we can do it again.

 

Your support is desperately needed to provide relief and reconstruction on the ground.  Christian Aid has already released £100,000 and we will send more as soon as we can. We hope to raise £1 million for this vital work.

 

Martin

OUR BUILDING WORK IS STILL IN PROGRESS

Please note that work on the Mint Redevelopment Scheme means that
there will still be limited - if any - space in the Church Car Park until the end of January.
If you have difficulty in walking, have very small children,
or if you are new to Exeter and the Mint and don’t know your way around,
please use the Church Car Park (if available) when coming to worship on Sunday.
Where possible others are asked to contine to use
on street and off street parking (Smythen St, Mary Arches St etc).

The Mint remains open as usual -
Please walk up the left side of the builders’ fence
and enter the Church by the main door as usual.

How to find us: click here for a map or directions to the Church and details about parking
