God's Love For Haiti

The tragedy that has taken place in Haiti is absolutely unfathomable. The 7.0 earthquake has left over 100,000 dead with 3 million affected by the quake. Anderson Cooper from CNN said many are “just standing around on the streets, not really sure what to do or where to go. And for many, there is nowhere to go.”
While much good is taking place through Mission of Mercy and other organizations, we need to continue to pray for the Haitian people. While we thank the Lord for watching out for many of the Assembly of God people as well as so many others, our hearts are broken by the devastation the people in and around Port au Prince are experiencing.
We must pray! God still answers prayer! "God please rescue people both physically and spiritually. In your name, Amen!"
