Today I’m taking time out for prayers for the suffering in Haiti. How difficult to watch the delicate infrastructure of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, crumble, in a country that has already suffered so such famine, political unrest, and absolute poverty. The hardest part is that the suffering continues, with lack of water, food, fuel, security, logistics and the struggle of disbursing aid. I’m reminded of Eldon, a family friend who served as a missionary in Haiti, Port au Prince from the 1950′s until the mid- 1990′s. It breaks my heart for the devastation and the extreme human suffering, as young and old struggle with pure survival, and fighting secondary infections. In college, while working in Nicaragua a decade after a major earthquake, the physical, emotional and social scars and suffering were so apparent. May God bring real help and true comfort to Haiti!
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
