An Outpouring of Love

It's awesome to see God work through His people!

Here are some highlights from the past few days and weeks:

  • The Emmanuel church family has donated over $10,000 dollars to FAIR for Haiti Relief. This amount will be matched by the Canadian government, and will be used in a coordinated effort by this fellowship of churches;


  • Christians from across Barrie participated in the Barrie Cares: Hope for Haiti concert last Saturday at Mapleview Community Church. Almost $27,000 was raised!


  • The Atrium of Emmanuel Baptist Church was used as a donation point for the Emmanuel's Wish Foundation Haiti Relief effort. Truckloads of donated items from the needs list were delivered to Emmanuel's Wish to be transported by container to their emergency orphanage;


  • A young man from Emmanuel Baptist Church has stepped forward and is making plans to travel to Haiti very soon to assist with the immediate "hands and feet" work at the emergency orphanage set up by Emmanuel's Wish.


To further assist in these efforts, please contribute directly to Emmanuel's Wish or your charity of choice. Please read more about what your donations to the Fellowship FAIR programme are doing here. Thank you to all who stepped up to sacrificially give their items, money, and time.



Just some of the donated items that will be loaded into a container for the orphanage in Haiti.
