7.0 Earthquake in Haiti
We have established a Haiti relief fund
dedicated to receiving donations for earthquake response. The Red Cross
estimates 3 million people have been affected.
Tuesday
evening a 7.0 earthquake hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Already the poorest
nation in the Western hemisphere, the latest reports coming out of
major news sources paint a grim picture. Widespread destruction
throughout Port-au-Prince, including the partial collapse of the
Presidential Palace, evidences a long recovery road. Airport closings
have hampered the arrival of needed aid from the international
community.
All of our missionaries have been
contacted and are safe, although the Raphael's and Etienne's houses
have been destroyed. We ask for your continued prayers for the safety
and ministry of our national missionary families: Leonel and Carlette Raphael, and Jean Martin Etienne (both located in Port-au-Prince), Nego and Ellen Pierre-Louis (located in Jacmel), Mioche and Rosie Rock (located in Pignon) and Sainsurin Jean-Baptiste (located in Gonaive).
