What is a life worth?

The figures are not final, but the Haiti project could run $55,000.00 total. That's not cheap to send four guys on a very short notice to a chaotic hot spot for three weeks, unless you think of a dozen people who created a supply logistics line for critical medical, fuel and food supplies in a third world nation immediately after a major disaster. Consider this:

We know our efforts directly saved 250+ lives, and significantly impacted 250,000 lives. The amount of money for us to deploy sounds huge, until you do the math....

$55,000.00 to save 250+ lives.... that's less than $220.00 per life. We can't go to the ER for that - for a common cold!

$55,000 to significantly impact 250,000 lives.... that's .22¢ per person. You can't jack for that!

Tasting and seeing that the Lord IS good, leaving the fragrance of Christ behind, and incarnating Christ to the least of these... PRICELESS.
