At 4:53 PM, on January 12, 2010, a devastating earthquake hit the already ravaged island nation of Haiti. Somewhere around 220,000 people died and 300,000 were injured in that brief, but powerful quake.
For most of us in the U.S., the tragedy has long since left our radar. That is not meant to judge or condemn us. We all have lives that are challenging and demand our energy, resources, and attention.However, I am asking you that read this to take a moment and pray for the leaders and the people of Haiti today. Also, I ask that you consider helping in some way, even if it is small.
If you would like to help, my non-profit organization, Hope International, Inc., is helping to rebuild a church school in Port-au-Prince. We have been working with that church school for over 16 years. There is genuine good happening there for the children and families that attend.
