The Lutheran World Federation has a long-standing presence with an office in Haiti – and is now at the forefront of the disaster response.
In addition, our web editor Terri Miller writes letter, asking for twitter messages on the earthquake and its aftermath:
Dear Communio friends,
We are planning to use Twitter to share about the LWF communion response to the earthquake in Haiti and we need your input!
The aim is to have you as member churches, related agencies and other partners within the communion send information about Haiti-related actions, news, resources such as prayers or liturgies, updates etc. via Twitter in the form of “tweets.” For those of you who are not familiar with Twitter, tweets are short messages (maximum of 140 characters) sent via mobile texting, instant message or the Web.
We will aggregate these tweets on the LWF Web site so that anyone browsing the site can see what is being done by different members of the communion.
To send tweets, you will need a Twitter account. Go to http://twitter.com/ to register. So that we can feed all LWF-related tweets to the Web site, include the hashtag
#lwf-haiti
at the end of each message.
Thanks and we look forward to hearing about your work!
