Haiti - Prayer Request
Haita was struck by an earthquake this morning, a magnitude 7.2. Its center was at St Louis del Sud, which is on the southern coast. It is 80 mi east of Les Caynes, which is near the western end of the southern jut of the island I do not know if I have been to St. Louis del Sud, but I remember well being in Les Caynes shortly after the violent hurricane of a few years ago. We have a church there about 2 miles outside the town. Nothing but the concrete floor of the building was left.
We no not know how many church members were affected. There are over a 1000 members in this area of the island. In the rural areas (most of this area is rural), the buildings are small with wooden roofs, but in cities, the roofs and second story floors are concrete. When an earthquake happens, the concrete structures collapse, which generally kills more people.
We do not have the means to help our churches there, but I am asking that you remember them in your prayers this weekend.
