Haiti: Where Will All the Money Go?

They say that every cloud has a silver lining and we can only hope that that is the case with the horrible situation in Haiti. I think it is safe to say that this small country has faced more depravation and misery than any other country in the world. My prayer is that this earthquake will bring about not only short term but long term solutions. Sometimes reform is only possible when a system totally collapses and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. Maybe that's the case with Haiti. For now, give to Haiti relief with faith that God will make sure the money goes where it is needed most. It is critical you give to reliable charities with a good track record, such as the Red Cross, Lutheran World Relief and Food For The Poor. Above all, keep Haiti and the beautiful people there in your prayers
