By Karen L. Willoughby, Managing Editor

Louisiana Baptists are responding to Haitians with their pocketbooks, prayers and relief efforts in a big way.STATEWIDE – As of presstime, more than $58,000 in checks has been received by the Louisiana Baptist Convention for Haiti relief.

This doesn’t count the money given with a credit card on the LBC website, or the offerings taken up at the Evangelism Conference, or the money sent directly to the North American Mission Board, International Mission Board or Baptist Global Response – the international arm of Southern Baptists’ Disaster Relief ministry.
