Pray for Haiti

In case you didn't already know, a 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti this afternoon, and it's estimated that a few thousand of people have died. Many buildings in the capital and surrounding area collapsed, and injured people are lying on sidewalks waiting for help. The country needs A LOT of prayer right now.

The earthquake hit in western Haiti, but was felt across the entire country. As far as I can tell, though, the area that I was in this past summer is fine. Apparently my friends in eastern Dominican Republic didn't even feel the quake, so they're ok too. I'm so thankful for that! But many of their family members were in Port-Au-Prince (the capital of Haiti).

Please keep the country in your prayers as people try to find their family members and bring help to those who are suffering.
