CARIBBEAN
HURRICANE APPEAL
THE CAUSE
At the end of October, Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, tore through Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic with winds reaching 300 km/h. Entire towns have been flattened. Seventy-five lives have already been lost, many more are missing, and over 1.5 million people are struggling to survive. Families are still searching for loved ones, and churches, once places of refuge and hope, now lie in ruins.
Roads are blocked, hospitals are overwhelmed, and 77{0efa61f77e4cd09e7b4f08094b2911ffcdf8ad00293cb60de4a24edfe6036ea2} of Jamaica is without electricity. In the Dominican Republic, entire communities are cut off, with some only reachable by drones delivering food parcels.
Our Bible Society teams are there, praying with families, comforting the grieving, and bringing hope through God’s Word. But they cannot do it alone; they need our collective prayers and support now.
Simply use the secure online donation form or internet banking to make your gift to help support Bible Societies in the Caribbean.

THEY’VE LOST EVERYTHING – YOU CAN BRING HOPE TODAY
The mother in the picture stands before the ruins of her home, clutching her child, surrounded by shattered walls and fallen trees. She has nothing left, no food, no clean water, no bed to lay her child down. And yet, through her tears, she whispers, “God, please help us.”
Today you can help!
A gift of $30 can provide a family who has lost everything with an emergency kit containing food, water, and sanitation essentials. Add just $2 and you can also include a printed Scripture, bringing hope through God’s Word.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1 (KJV)
