I went with the Churches Helping Churches media team to Haiti last week to identify the needs of the churches and help raise money to meet their needs. The things I saw, the things I filmed, and the people I met are still with me. I am haunted by the horror I saw, and yet the palpable hope of homeless and hungry Christians amazed me.
If you live in or near Minnesota, I want to personally invite you to a concert Desiring God is sponsoring called Hip Hop for Haiti on Friday, February 5, 2010. Order your tickets online. 100% of all the money will go directly to churches in Haiti through Churches Helping Churches.
Don’t Waste Your Life is partnering with Reach Records, Lamp Mode Records, and 3 Degrees to host a benefit concert to help the churches in Haiti rebuild and reach out again. Christian hip hop artists Lecrae, DJ Official, Flame, Json, and DJ Essence will be performing at this concert. In addition to the ticket price, there will be several opportunities to give throughout the night. 100% of the proceeds, from the tickets, merchandise, and all other gifts, will go directly to Churches Helping Churches.
This concert will take place at 3 Degrees (Downtown Minneapolis, MN) on February 5 at 8pm. Ticket price is $10.
Go here to buy your tickets. Buy your tickets in advance. We expect this to be a sell-out show.

Go here to watch videos of Mark Driscoll and James MacDonald in Haiti just days after the earthquake.
Come, have a great time, enjoy hip hop music to the glory of God, and give sacrificially for the furtherance of kingdom work in Haiti.

DWYL isn't a bat to hit another brother with. It's a calling from God each must obey in his own way. http://ow.ly/1fpZp /via @anderson_scott2010/03/08
