Local Family in Haiti Says They're OK After Earthquake - WBAY-TV Green Bay-Fox Cities-Northeast Wisconsin News:
News article and video on a family from our church that is currently in Haiti during this time of natural disaster.
We sponsor a child through Compassion International from Haiti and are very concerned for him and his family. We believe they survived the initial damages. However, we are unsure of what this will mean for the stability of an already shaky government, and a very precarious food situation. Daily life is already filled with extreme poverty, hunger, and strife.
Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and the second poorest country in the world. Unemployment is at 80%. We can't even begin to comprehend the struggle Haitians live day in and day out. Children are lucky if they live past 5 years old. Our compassion child just turned six - Thanks be to God.
Our Church has a planned medical trip in early February and will be needed more than ever.
Please take a moment out of your busy day and pray for the people of Haiti and for the workers who go to help. May the Haitian people find the true source of life in the great and compassionate Creator who loves them dearly. And may the Christian workers who are on the ground there, or who are going soon, understand the great priviledge they have to be the hands and feet of our Lord to these people who desperately need to meet Jesus.
