On Tuesday 12th January 2010, the whole world stood in utter bewilderment as we watched disturbing images of collapsed buildings, human casualties, and a panic-stricken populace: A magnitude-7 earthquake had hit the impoverished country of Haiti doing catastrophic damage to its capital Port-au-Prince and other nearby areas.
A disaster like this is never easy for even the most developed nations and the spectrum of those affected spreads well beyond the borders of Haiti. Even the UN took a blow as its multistory headquarters was brought down along with many other significant structures including the presidential palace, schools, and even church buildings.
Thankfully, much needed aid is coming in from different parts of the world and rescue operations have begun in earnest, but there’s something more that’s required. The Bible lets us know that “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it;” (Psalm 127:1). Right now, let us send out a prayer for Haiti and give a word of hope to those who are desperately in need of it.
Remember that we have a priestly ministry and our words can make a world of difference. Please post words of encouragement, prayers and prophecy for Haiti right here on the blog.
God bless you!
