The BACC sent $10,000 to help with the relief efforts in the earthquake devestated city of Port-au-Prince Haiti. We will continue to post news as we receive it. We are very grateful for the many relationships we have around the world that make it possible to be informed with the latest information so we can pass it on to our family here at home.

From the moment we heard the news, saw the visuals, and felt the pain being experienced because of the tragedy in Haiti we knew we had to act. We wanted our brothers and sisters in the church as well as the nation as a whole to know that we here in the Bay Area Christian Church would not abandon them in their time of need. As a result, we have already wired 10,000 dollars to a relief team that will go directly to the church in Haiti.

We wanted you to be informed of our efforts to help with the relief efforts in Haiti and ask you to continue to pray for this tragic situation.
