This received this morning--thank goodness Kim, Patrick and Solomon are OK. So is a group of Tennessee Christian Church volunteers who arrived on Sunday. More news will come during the day. Here is the info from Global Ministries web site:
"Global Ministries has received a call from the family of Kim and Patrick Bentrott indicating that they and their son are fine. We also received news from the Disciples Tennessee Region group letting us know that they are fine. "

Kim and Patrick work with some 6000 small grass roots churches that are part of a religious council known as CONASPEH. They are located in the poorest sections of the country. They will be needing everything.
Gifts for emergency relief can be made through One Great Hour of Sharing, Week of Compassion or directly through Global Ministries with the designation "Haiti Emergency". You can follow the links below:
