Buckets of Hope News and Worker Request

A Note From Our State Director:

Dear Arizona Disaster Relief Volunteers,

First let me thank you for your ongoing commitment to Disaster Relief work across the state. The year has gotten off to an exciting start with multiple responses across Arizona, American Samoa, and even Haiti.

There has been a huge outcry for practical hands-on response to the devastation in Haiti. First we must realize that, nationwide, responders are begging to go to Haiti. Second we must realize that the infrastructure to even support Disaster Relief workers is limited to say the least. We are in full support and daily communication with national and international relief workers as well as the Florida Baptist Convention who is leading out in the Disaster Relief process.

The one request that we have received and that we are joining other state conventions in is the Buckets of Hope campaign. In short Buckets of Hope is an opportunity for Arizona Southern Baptists to touch individual families in Haiti with a week’s worth of food. By churches, Sunday school classes, families or individuals sponsoring a bucket, a Haitian family can eat for one entire week. We want to encourage all Arizona Disaster Relief volunteers to go to the ASBC website, click on the Buckets of Hope icon and follow the steps listed to be a part of this great project.

In the meantime, check our website daily and make sure you plan on being a part of the Disaster Relief training March 12-13 in Scottsdale. Until then, if we can do anything don’t hesitate to let us know.
