(Red) & Convoy Of Hope

I love to see when individuals and businesses and organizations come together to address a pressing need. Sometimes we see it in short bursts (like tsunami or earthquake response), but once the tragedy is no longer in the headlines, people quickly forget. But the need remains.

(Red) is an ongoing project addressing the huge need of AIDS in Africa.

Convoy of Hope not only responds immediately to disasters but stays in place for the long haul to make sure that infrastructures and displaced people are reestablished.

I encourage you to buy (Red) products, follow (Red) on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and on their website.

You can do with same with COH: follow them on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and on their website.

Here’s a great (Red) video:

Christians, we need to especially be people who stay informed and get involved.

Convoy Of Hope

I’m a big fan of Convoy of Hope. They provide timely humanitarian need in time of disaster, giving people a tangible picture of the compassion of Jesus.

A couple of huge miracles

  1. Convoy Of Hope had just restocked their warehouse in Haiti just before the earthquake hit.
  2. The COH warehouse wasn’t damaged during the earthquake.
  3. A couple of missionaries in the Dominican Republic had just secured passes to travel back-and-forth from the D.R. to Haiti. This made them a great resource to be able to take supplies and workers into Haiti.

You can see a video update from COH president Hal Donaldson. You can also donate to COH here.

Our church took a special offering for Convoy of Hope on Sunday. I’m glad we can help in this way.
