Some of you may have heard how on Oct. 8, 2010, a boat carrying two trucks and supplies to the Haitian people, went down near Cay Sal Bank, 60 miles off Miami.    http://www.tradewinds.no/casualties/568324/mystic-cries-mayday  Four Haitian brethren lost approx. $13,000.00 USD invested in cargo on this ship.  Also on this boat were two other shipments that involved Keith Toews from St. Mary’s, ON,  http://keysnews.com/node/27081 and Jean Maxeau Boursiquot from Belleville, PA.  Bro. Keith is starting a medical clinic up in the mountains of Oriani, Haiti.  Bro. Maxeau’s truck was loaded with supplies donated by different ones to be sold in Haiti.  The brethren’s goal has been to help with the many needs in this poverty stricken country.   The total loss of all goods was approx. $48,000.00 USD.  
We are coming to you in behalf of this loss.  If you feel to help in any way please send  monies to Deacon  Alan Schroeder, 6751 S. Locust Grove Rd, Hardinsburg, IN 47125.  Checks should be made out to Church of God in Christ, Menn. with “Lost Cargo” in memo.
We have received an offer to match your gift dollar for dollar up to $15,000.00.  Thanks for your consideration to this request.  Also if you would like a receipt for your donation please let us know and we will send it to you. 
 Sincerely: 
 Mark Stoll,  Hardinsburg, IN
