Earthquake in Haiti - Please Pray


Update from Lori:
b. got to the village. everyone at her creché & village are well! the village has damage, but structurally they're fine, it's mainly some of the walls that are down & need to be replaced. i asked the condition of the creché & she said that everyone's fine, but she didn't go look at it herself as she needed to get to the village. she does know that all her kids, workers, nanny's, visitors, etc. etc. are all fine!

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake hit Haiti approximately 10 miles west of Port-au-Prince. Our sons live about 7 miles west of PAP; in other words, very near the epicenter. Please pray for their safety!

We are receiving updates via a contact in the States who is in cell phone communication with our adoption coordinator. Our coordinator is on her way to the orphanage to check on the status of everyone there. She reports seeing schools, churches, hospitals collapsed and asks everyone to please continue to pray.

As soon as we have word on our boys I will post again.

I feel as though I have sat stunned at the feet of Jesus all day. His peace has given me great comfort and I know God is sovereign - He is working for His glory and I watch expectantly for His hands of love and compassion to be stretched out across the hearts of the people in Haiti. At the same time I keep searching His face for signs of Sousi and Sève. . .I may not know for days of their safety, and yet I keep searching our beloved Saviour's face - He knows whether they are safe or not. I can only be content in knowing that they are in His hands alone and He is truly a God of love and comfort and safety. So I sit at the feet of Jesus and pray for Sousi and Sève to be cradled in His arms or hidden beneath the shelter of His wings. Thank you for standing beside me in prayer during this. What encouragement to glance sideways before the throne of God and see so many of us gathered together in heart and mind petitioning Him for grace and protection in Haiti. Banded together in prayer with you. julie
