By now, you have heard about the massive Earthquake that shook Haiti this past Tuesday.  Some reports estimate that as many as 100,000 people were killed during this natural disaster and many people believe this is a conservative estimate.

In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus explains that it is the obligation of every believer to help those in need.  Our brothers and sisters in Haiti need us now more than ever.  Many of them do not have running water, food, shelter, a change of clothes or even a bible to read and be encouraged by God's Truths.

We at the TWRS are urging you to please consider donating to an organization that is committed to aiding the relieve efforts in Haitti.  After the jump, we have listed several organizations that have been recomended to us by our listeners and supporters.  Jesus said that if you don't help a man in need, its as if you didn't help our Lord and Savior personally.
