The Rev. Scott Sherwood from the First Church of the Nazarene in Bloomington talks about a unique attempt to raise money and awareness for earthquake relief in Haiti. His congregation split up $5,000 and used it as seed money for bigger fundraising efforts. Each person has used their own skill set to produce ideas... from baking, to crocheting and more traditional ideas.

Todd Keller with the church's Upreach Ministries says his fellow musicians were also inspired to sing. The interview includes the Epic Worship Band performing its Haiti inspired song "Ravaged".
