Thank you for sharing generous contributions of nearly $250,000 that will directly support the rebuilding of lives, homes, schools, and communities for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. As relief and rebuilding continues, the opportunity to give directly to Haiti through the Oblation Fund has been extended through February 28.

In the United States, taxpayers who itemize deductions may include cash contributions for Haiti earthquake relief given from January 12, 2010, (the time the earthquake occurred) through February 28, 2010, on their 2009 tax return.

The outpouring of love, support, and prayers for our sisters and brothers in Haiti has been amazing. We turn this same spirit of love and prayer to the upcoming World Conference in April when we will gather together for worship, discernment, discussion, and fellowship.

No matter where you live, your giving can make World Conference possible for members around the world. Be part of the World Conference Special Offering on Sunday, February 21.

• Use the World Conference special-offering envelope on Sunday, February 21.
• Contribute online at www.CofChrist.org/give using a debit or credit card.
• Use your Mission Tithes offering envelopes between now and March 31 to contribute. Write "World Conference" on the World Ministries portion of the envelope.

Thank you for your generous giving! May we be blessed with the assurance that God goes with us always as we strive to share our mission and message with the world.
