A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti Tuesday
evening with devastating results. (See http://news.bbc.co.uk/ for details.) American Baptist missionary families
serving in Haiti with
International Ministries were in the United States at the time. Steve and Nancy James are returning immediately
and the Nzungas are on a planned U.S./Puerto Rico home assignment. Kristy Engel
and Madeline Flores-Lopez, in the Dominican Republic, report that all
is well there. (Contributions may be sent to One Great Hour of Sharing to provide
emergency relief for the Haiti
earthquake.
Note: $25,000 in One Great Hour
of Sharing Funds has been made immediately available.)
- Pray for that poor country and its people.
- Pray for the proper response of the world to this tragedy.
- Pray for believers in Haiti to shine forth the love of Christ is this time of desperate need.
