Devastation of Epic Proportions in Haiti
Yesterday the largest earthquake to hit Haiti in 200 years ripped through the nation’s capital Port Au Prince. The red cross estimates 3 million people to have been affected by the earthquake. Haiti’s population is 9 million, so that means one third of the country is injured, dead or displaced. The UN building, the National Palace, and thousands of buildings and homes have all been reduced to rubble. Text “Yele” to 501501 to instantly donate $5.
I cried this morning when I watched a man from Connecticut who was in Haiti with his wife as a missionary, told the story of how he searched for her under the rubble for for 10 hrs. He removed brick by brick and lifted metal sheet by metal sheet all night in tears as he screamed her name looking for her. Luckily they found her alive but in bad shape.

Romans 8:28
More Than Conquerors
And we know that in all things work together for good to them that love God, who have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
