Dear Friend in Christ,

Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Have you ever felt hungry and couldn't decide what you wanted to eat? But, you at least knew that you had a choice? Have you ever heard anyone complain that there is nothing to eat? But, more than likely they do have some food in the kitchen; it's just not what they want or have a taste for.

A younger generation of volunteers and supporter's are seeking ways to provide assistance to those in need. Many are aware of the needs of those less fortunate either through school programs, Churches or the media; and many more are becoming involved with helping the nation of Haiti after it's devastating Earthquake last year. 19 year old Brandon Knight of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida is just one of many of this younger generation, taking a step to reach out and help in the re-building of this impoverished nation. His passion: providing supplies, clothing and food to the children of Haiti.
