Help Haiti

I have been thinking about what if this earthquake had happened in L.A.? It made the discomfort personal and real. My heart is breaking for these people. Romans 8:22 says, "We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time." This feels so literal when I look at these images from the UK daily mail . The poorest country in the western hemisphere has become more poverty stricken and destitute. I pray that this would sober us, that we would be woken up from the selfish unconciousness that we drift into day after day. I pray that God would heal, comfort and bring restoration to this land and these precious people.





American Airlines is offering 250 miles for a $50 donation towards relief efforts and 500 miles for a $100.00 plus donation. Samaritan's Purse is another trustworthy organization that already was doing work in Haiti; they, too, are taking donations.
