Floods and Mudslides In Haiti

Pray for Haiti as the rainy season starts.

Three youngsters were killed as well as a couple of individuals injured when a mudslide brought on by torrential down pours knocked down a wall and smashed a home within the Haitian capital, said some people who were there.  The previous hurricane season, the passing of Tropical Storm Noel killed over forty individuals within Haiti and upward to one hundred within the adjoining Dominican Republic.

Haiti, the poorest nation within the Americas, is susceptible to flash floods and mudslides since the majority of their trees have already been chopped down in order to make charcoal for cooking food. Nearly all its almost nine million people reside in rickety slum dwellings.  Haiti is actually one of many poor nations that was rocked throughout latest weeks by violent protests about soaring world food costs.

Pray As Chile's Earthquake Circumstance Gets Worse

Inside the earthquake stricken Chile, hundreds of individuals have already been confirmed dead with two million men, women and children suffering from the disaster as well. Numerous areas of the disaster region continue to be inaccessible while a total snapshot of this devastation is only starting to become apparent. Chile's President Michelle Bachelet has made a plea for global assistance.

Rapid response teams are coordinating the supply of essential medicines as well as other health-related supplies to assist earthquake survivors. Numerous relief efforts are generally centered on providing medical aid which includes antibiotics, infection management products as well as surgical equipment. Regarding healthcare, one of the most severe difficulties took place in southern Chile, in which six hospitals collapsed as well as two others that have been damaged seriously and are not able to function.

To accelerate aid to survivors, organizations are also working together with associates within the region, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and Argentina, to organize their response. Medications, healthcare supplies along with other humanitarian aid are anticipated to be transported to local hospitals, clinics and other health care providers within the approaching days.

Please pray for the people who are suffering or who have lost loved ones in Chile.  Pray for the salvation of many and that the Lord would move in a mighty way among the Chilean people.

Looking Into The Future To Pray For Haiti

Even while numerous organizations continue to provide relief supplies for the Haitian people, the current focus is to pinpoint long-term recovery plans for this nation and to share Jesus in a real personal way.

We are working together with the Haitian people now as well as with plans for long-term development. Our fundraising pertaining to Haiti is in progress to have adequate funds for the projects currently planned. We are thankful for the generosity of those who are praying and have already given to the Haitian people.
