If you are thinking of showing love and compassion through MCC, you are welcome. We work in more than 60 countries (including right here at home) and we want you to get involved. Share of yourself: your time and your money. For what you have (your gifts, energy, and your resources) has been given to you by God and it is to be shared with others.
Now for an update:
Thanks to all of you who have contributed to MCCs response to the Haiti Earthquake. Your generosity enables MCC to respond to immediate and long-term needs of Haitians. At work in Haiti for more than 50 years, MCC will continue to walk with its Haitian partners, together addressing basic human needs of the people and underlying issues of injustice that hamper the country's recovery.

"In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we're talking about is Christ's body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn't amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ's body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't. If you preach, just preach God's Message, nothing else; if you help, just help, don't take over; if you teach, stick to your teaching; if you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don't get bossy; if you're put in charge, don't manipulate; if you're called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond; if you work with the disadvantaged, don't let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them. Keep a smile on your face. (Romans 12:6-8, The Message)"
