Prayer For The People Of Haiti

[Cindy]

Please pray for the people of Haiti, and UN peacekeepers, and missionaries.

[tamor]

Yes! It is overwhelming just seeing it in pictures. I cannot begin to imagine the devestation of it all.

I was looking at some pictures this morning and was moved to tears because of the destruction everywhere and the terrible plight of the people. We are so blessed.

Then I read the news about Pat Robertson....

Could he retire, please? At least pull him off the air. The man is completely off his rocker and looney.

He blames the earthquake on a pact the Haitians made with the debbil.... *sigh*

My prayers are with those people. Such a horrible tragedy.

Very sad. It made me cry this morning when I read the numbers.

[Elizabeth]

Yes the number are enormous.


I will be praying!

[Sinatra]

Praying.....The devastation is unreal, the schools, the hospitals, the churches.....so many lives lost.

I don't know about that, but I do know that witchcraft is extremely strong in that nation.

I am thankful my friends family is safe. Their homes are damaged but their lives are spared.

I heard on KLove this morning and have read other reports where people are praying in the streets - hands lifted to God - what a witness to those who are involved in witchcraft to see hearts thankful to God and asking Him for intervention -

I know the UPC has missionaries there. Is there any way to send money to them?

You can go to the website and donate I think. I saw it posted on Facebook.

Samaratin's Purse (Operation Christmas Child) is taking donations - have already sent teams with supplies to Haiti - one news report said money was worthless - water is the currency now.

[Cindy]

Please only donate to known charities, for I am sure there will be some that are shams.

Here is the report that WNOP sent out:

We want to inform everyone that our UPCI Missionaries appointed to the nation of Haiti, Brother Ron & Sister Teri Brian are on deputation here in the United States and fortunately were not in Haiti at the time of the 7.0 earthquake that rocked the country yesterday.

Many have asked about them and we want everyone to know that they are okay.
All attempts to contact our National Leader in Haiti, Pastor La Porte, have been unsuccessful so we are unaware of any physical or material losses sustained by our ministers, saints or church buildings. We are asking you to please pray for our ministers and saints in Haiti. They need God's protection and comfort at this time.


A Strategic Management Assessment Response Team (SMART TEAM) made up of Rev. Ron Brian, Rev. Danny Wilkerson and Rev. Mark Hattabaugh will be leaving tomorrow for the Dominican Republic. They will meet there with Missionary Steve Shirley and attempt to enter Haiti from the Dominican Republic. Once they are on the ground in Haiti they will assess the situation.


Many have called requesting how they can help.
First and foremost you can help by interceding for our ministers and saints in Haiti and secondly you can help by making a donation to Compassion Services International at the following web-site: (clicking on this will take you directly to the site) Compassion Services . If you prefer you can also send and offering to Compassion Services International, 8855 Dunn Rd, Hazelwood, MO. 63042 designated for Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund.



Let's continue to pray for the church in Haiti and for the SMART team that will be going in to assess the situation on the ground.


Blessings,

I heard BO said the USA is going to start off by sending 100 million. Where we are going to get the money is beyond me.

But you are right, what out for scams.
