Murphy, who traveled to Haiti to deliver the first $10,000 in disaster relief funds from CGM also conducted an assessment of the earthquakes’ affect on Church of God congregations and other ministry works on the island nation. International relief organizations estimate the death toll at over 150,000 with upwards of half a million people displaced and without shelter. In answering the call for assistance, CGM has received more than $53,000 in disaster relief donations from individuals and congregations.
