Haiti

I remember vividly the way we felt when we learned of the devastating earthquake in China in 2008. We still did not have a little girl referred to us, yet our hearts were still so deeply sad. You see, we loved the country of China before we even laid eyes on our sweet girl. All that said, would you please pray for a precious family whose son is in an orphanage in Haiti? Their son and the other children are all alive, but without shelter. I can't imagine having held and loved on their sweet boy, not being able to be there now. I also know when you love a country as well, pictures and video of unimaginable devastation like we are seeing is heart-wrenching. Too much to get your brain around, really.
I know they would appreciate your prayers greatly. If you are able to also help in a monetary way, you can follow their family blog HERE and find ways to help the orphanage directly as well as ways to contribute to other organizations.
We're also praying for the mother of a dear childhood/high school friend of mine. She was in Jacmel, Haiti doing mission work with the people she loves. The family has not heard from her since before the quake.
Heavy hearts, yet clinging to hope in the One who knows our weariness.

"God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble."
Psalm46:1
