VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 1/11/11)—To commemorate the Haiti earthquake and the American Baptist response, seven new mini-videos and print materials are scheduled to be released by International Ministries starting Wednesday, January 12. “In spite of economic recession and uncertainty, people have reached out in remarkable ways to our Haitian brothers and sisters,” said Reid Trulson, executive director of American Baptist International Ministries.

The materials highlight the significant contributions of American Baptists in Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake on January 12, 2010. The mini-videos and print materials can be used in Mission Moments, Bible studies and Sunday School classes. These stories are uniquely American Baptist that won’t be available on CNN or anywhere else in the major news media.

Visit the International Ministries website at www.internationalministries.org on Wednesday, January 12, for mini-videos and print resources to view and download.

American Baptist Churches is one of the most diverse Christian denominations today, with 5,500 local congregations comprised of 1.3 million members, across the United States and Puerto Rico, all engaged in God’s mission around the world.
