Haiti Earthquake 2010 Prayers & Praise

What I want to say is too long for a Facebook status... I'm sure you have already heard of the earthquake and it's devistation in Haiti. Good news is the all the Three Angel's kids and staff who was there at the time are safe! Because the Three Angel's building has cracks in the walls, our kids and staff were found on a lot across the street, for it seemed safer.

The overly popular Carribean Market (which sits walking distance from TA) is in shambles. St. Joseph's Guest House and home for boys has been comfirmed as damage. And I'm sure you have seen the photos of the Presidential Palace, which lies completely on the ground. There is so much more in Haiti which has been shaken -- homes, business, schools, hospitals, families and hearts.

Although we have praise, prayers are still needed. There are still other employees which are sadly still unaccounted for, along with loved friends and family, sponsored students, and beloved birth families. I pray for Nicky Pierre, a young man dear to many Three Angel's families. I pray for Alix, the 3A school headmaster. I pray for Fritzon, Reggie, Jimmy, Michel, all our nannies and families. So many more are hurting, more than can be said. I beg you to pray and pray and pray for all of Haiti, for although we each have ministries in destress, the whole country is suffereing.

Aftershocks have carried on into the morning as people are trying to salvage what they have left and search for their list of loved ones unaccounted for. Last night, a friend of mine living in Haiti said that Haitians were gathered together outside praying and praising, singing beautifully to the Lord. Even during the harder hardships, Haiti is still setting the example of great praise. In the midst of trapped victims, fallen buildings, and ground that is not sturdy (literally) praises are being sung to the One who deserves them.

I have not forgotten that things in the States are not perfect. However, if you are being called to help, please go to http://threeangelshaiti.org. If you choose to only pray, I thank you. Prayers are what kept our children safe last night as buildings came falling down around them.

Please after the news forgets, after the word dies down in America, don't forget. People will still be weeping, hurting, and Haiti will still struggling through recovering -- which will be a slow process. Don't forget, pray until you feel your prayers are no longer needed, then pray more.

James 5:15 "And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up."

James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and the faultless is this: to look after orphans and widow in their destress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
