Pray for Haiti

I am no Haiti expert...I've only been in the country for 8 days of my life. And although I have only physically been there a few days a piece of my heart has been there every since. And that must be the reason that this earthquake literally makes me feel sick. We have heard many reports mostly via Facebook from our friends in Haiti. For awhile the husband of one of the ladies who lives at the mission could not be reached - he was in PAP yesterday for the arrival of a sea container. Thankfully he is ok and was able to contact his wife last night - though he described the scene in PAP as one of the worst things he had ever seen. Though the earthquake was centered in PAP many people who live in Saint Louis de Nord where the mission is have family there and are fearful because they cannot reach them. I certainly have a heavy heart for Haiti today. I am scared to see what daylight will reveal. This poor (spiritually and physically) country has suffered catastrophic damage, but I also know our God is a mighty God. The devastation is widespread and as of now they have reported 18 aftershocks so I am sure people are nervous. Though it is terrible my prayer is that this would lead the Haitian people to turn to the one true God.
