Massive earth quake levels Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. Death toll estimated in the 100,000s.
"Dead lay in the streets, possibilities of mass burial sights talked about on the radio. People wandering the streets, city parks now filled with people camping out in them. The situation is worst than dreamed!
Yesterday we sent an investigative team to Port-au-Prince (PAP) to take a first hand look at the situation. I will not easily forget what Rodney Gephart and Wayne Snow said when they had returned; "The situation is worse than it has appeared on TV!" My heart sank and instead of crying I felt a numbness come over me as they began telling me of the dead, the buildings that had colapsed and then to hear that they could not find any information on who is doing what as far as cordinated efforts for immediate response and long term recovery." (Quote from missionary in Haiti)
This strikes near to my heart as several of my friends Wayne and Keturah Snow (recently married) who were apart of my Discipleship Training School and are now living in Haiti at the St. Marc YWAM Base. I myself went to Haiti less than a year ago.
John 14:13-14
"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Mark 11:24
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though it's waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging....... The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."
