Another way to make a contribution: Haiti Disaster Relief Fund of Lord of Life Aids Haiti through Lazarus Project
Lord of Life Lutheran Church, with campuses in Fairfax and Clifton/Centreville, has an existing relationship with the Lazarus Project, an opportunity to be directly involved in serving Haiti's poor. The Rev. Ron Qualley alerts us to the availability of an update from Lazarus Project staff. A blog post from Debbie Berquist, interim director of the program, declares, "We have passed another safe night... praise the Lord!"

The congregation has established a Haiti Disaster Relief Fund, which will channel relief directly to needs identified bythe Lazarus Project. Find this giving opportunity from the congregation's home page or lordoflifelutheran.com/haiti.xml.
