Help for Haiti
In response to the Haiti earthquake, VCS students and parents have asked how they can help. We have set up a channel for relief funds to be sent through Children of the Promise, the Minnesota organization in which VCMS teacher Jamie Groen and his wife Jenny are involved. 100% of donated funds will reach the Groens. Donations may be sent online at Children of the Promise or by mail to: Children of the Promise, Box 97, Prinsburg, MN 56281. We thank God for the ministry of the Groens in Haiti and for the ways Dan Woolley, class of ’88 has used the story of his rescue from an elevator shaft in Port au Prince to share of his hope in God through numerous media reports. Read the Press Telegram article about the Groens.
