Three more churches and/or individuals have contacted the Philly Deaf ministry to indicate that they have sent, or are planning to send, funds to add to the Haiti Deaf School Relief fund.

One of my favorite movies is "The Ghost of Dickens Past." It is a little known movie, but it's message is as great or greater than my other favorite movie, "A Christmas Carol."  In the movie, an especially important moment is when "Mr. Dickens" realizes that his need for money, as desperate as he is feeling, is nothing compared to the family who is living under a bridge in the middle of winter.  He responds to this thought by giving  a basket of food and a pouch of money for the family's housing and their young son's sickness. As he is turning to leave, the father in a confused voice, almost yells to him, "Why are you doing this?"  His answer?  "Because you need it...and I need to give it!"

Thank, everyone, who has given and those who are planning to give to this great need; not just because they need it, but because we need to give it.

Remember!  We began this collection less than a month ago with a $1000.00 goal in sight.  Would you look what the Lord has done through His people!
