10 Independent & Free Press,Thursday, February 25, 2010 Church's MADMEHN collecting tents, equipment for Haiti The men's ministry of Acton Baptist Church (MADMEHN-- Men of Acton, Devoutly Meeting Evangelical and Human Needs) has partnered with the Eglise Evangelique Baptiste d'Ottawa (the Evangelical Baptist Church of Ottawa) to aid Haiti earthquake victims. Relief efforts in Haiti have now shifted to meeting infrastructure needs. As the country enters the rainy season, hundreds of thousands of people remain without adequate shelter. Acton Baptist Church (ABC) and the Evangelical Baptist Church of Ottawa (EBCO) have launched a collection drive for new and used tents, tarps, sleeping bags and air mattresses for immediate shipment in containers to Haiti, where teams from both churches will assist in the distribution efforts. In addition, they are hoping to collect basic toiletry items such as soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste. EBCO will ship two, 40-foot containers from Ottawa to Haiti. Allan Jensen, spokesperson for MADMEHN in Acton, recently met with Rev. Narcisse, and pledged the support of ABC's men's ministry in the collection efforts. Donations of used camping shelters and tarps in good condition, as well as new equipment and the toiletries is being collected and stored at Acton Baptist Church, 80 Mill Street. Given the urgency of the need, it is hoped that local donations can be brought to the containers in Ottawa by mid-March. "We're just a small church in a small community," Jensen says, "but the people of Acton and Georgetown have huge hearts, and we know that people will respond. The church isn't open regular hours, so if people want to donate they can call us and we'll come pick it up for them." To arrange for pick-up, please call Jensen at 519-929-9138 or Jacques Rheaume at 519-853-9556.
