What's Next God?

If you haven’t been watching the news today, the biggest earthquake in 200 years has hit Haiti. Below is information from WorldVision which is a wonderful charity helping with disaster relief. I am donating and I ask that you do as well. If you aren’t able to donate to WorldVision, maybe you can help out some other way.

A strong 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck in an area about 14 miles from Haiti’s capital city of Port-au-Prince at about 5 p.m. local time on Tuesday afternoon. The quake, which lasted about one minute, was followed by a series of aftershocks felt by World Vision staff members in the affected region.

At present, telephone lines are down and other forms of communication have been impaired, making it very difficult to obtain information from our field staff as to the extent of damage and the condition of communities in the quake zone. Media reports have indicated that numerous buildings in and around Port-au-Prince have collapsed.

World Vision is most concerned about the well-being of children and families in the affected areas. Port-au-Prince is a very densely populated city, enhancing the risk of major infrastructure damage and humanitarian crisis. Haiti is also the poorest and least-developed nation in the Western Hemisphere, where nearly 80 percent of the population lives on less than $2 per day.

Three ways you can help:

Please pray for the children, families, and communities affected by this disaster, and pray for World Vision’s staff members who are assessing the needs and preparing for an emergency response.

Donate now to World Vision’s Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. Your gift will help our staff members rush emergency assistance to those in greatest need following the disaster — like food, clean water, blankets, tents, and more.

Sponsor a child in Haiti. Your love and support for a child in need will help provide basic essentials and help him or her be better equipped to cope with disasters like the recent earthquake.

Go here to donate.

My prayers go out to Haiti during this disaster. Please join me.
