Dear Moderators, Pastors and Conventioneers:
 
I am sure you are all aware of the devastation that occurred in Haiti.  We know that it is our Christian responsibility to reach out and provide assistance to the people of Haiti.  Yes, we are our brother’s keeper.
 
As a result, I am asking each Moderator, Pastor and/or Conventioneer to make a financial contribution to the Florida State Primitive Baptist Convention, Inc. toward the Haiti relief effort.  Elder Dr. Mitchell Dawkins, Chair of our Evangelism Board, is working on locating the appropriate officials were we can forward our donation so that it will be given directly to those who are in need. 
 
I understand that some of you may have programs and efforts already on going to assist the people of Haiti.  Please continue those efforts.  However, for those of you who would like to make a financial contribution under the name of the Florida State Primitive Baptist Convention, I ask that you please forward your donation to:
                        Florida State Primitive Baptist Convention, Inc.
                        c/o Haiti Relief Effort
                        1329 Abraham Street
                        Tallahassee, FL   32304
 
You can make your tax deductible contribution payable to The Florida State Primitive Baptist Convention, Inc.  After we receive all donations, we will forward a check to the proper officials from the Florida State Primitive Baptist Convention, Inc.  We would like to receive all donations by February 1, 2010.
 
Thanking you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
 
Yours in Christ,
F. R. Rush, President
Florida State Primitive Baptist Convention Inc.
