Today I bring you more details of the plan.
With the help and support of some other Pastors and laymen we will launch "WeWillGo.net" over the weekend. "We Will Go" will be an action-minded site dedicated to providing the answer to the question "What can I do?" In addition to providing links to donate funds to other organizations, we will concentrate our primary efforts on gathering people who are willing to go into the devastated areas and help rebuild communities one home at a time. "We Will Go" is partnering with Habitat for Humanity to provide them with the hands and feet they need to accomplish these goals.
We are working with Habitat for three key reasons:
1. They have the know-how: We won't re-invent the wheel. As Christians we should be engaged in our culture and in relief we don't need new organizations that double-up on efforts currently underway.
2. Homes are long-term: Many people will immediately respond. It is our vision to see "We Will Go" become a sustained effort of finding and placing willing volunteers with great organizations who are in need. By working with Habitat we can keep our focus long-term. Rebuilding homes for the millions affected by this storm certainly provide us with a long-term mind-set and mission.
3. Immediate cash should go to Immediate needs: By taking on a long-term project we will not interfere with the immediate efforts currently underway. We do not wish to divert funds from willing donors to organizations such as The Red Cross, Salvation Army, or other groups.
I've received many supportive emails about this effort already from people ready to partner with us. If you are interested in partnering with "We Will Go" please email me at Tally.Wilgis@Gmail.com or leave a comment and we will get back with you. In addition you can use your blog and email list to alert others to this long-term solution. There are so many people who will need our help and message of hope for such a long time.
Give now, Give later.
