*911 Pray For Haiti And The Haitians

Rating: 3.4


On 12 January 2010 a 7.0 force earthquake struck 16 miles offshore from Port-au-Prince demolishing the capital and killing many thousands of its citzens. Haiti occupies the western third of Hispanola a Carribean Island 45 miles east of Cuba. The population is just in excess of 10 million and about 3 million Hatians live abroad. It is a poor country and many of its citizens have poor health including TB and Aids. It is nominally Christian (80% Catholic) and about 50% of the population practise Hatian Vodu. What can we do? We can give generously now and during the year. If we have specialist skills we can join teams being sent out by our Governments. We can also pray Individually and Collectively for our beloved 'Brothers & Sister' in Haiti. It's up to you - but please do something.

Pray for Haiti and the Haitians
That GOD will hear their cries and prayers
That the WORLD will hear their cries and prayers
That they will recover their Peace & Joy
That the bereaved will know their loved ones are with GOD
Pray for Haiti and the Haitians

Pray for Haiti and the Haitians
That each individual will find comfort
That each individual will have access to clean water
That each individual will have sufficient food each week
That each individual will feel wanted and loved
Pray for Haiti and the Haitians

Pray for Haiti and the Haitians
That they will have strong National leadership
That each local area will be governed democratically
That each child will have access to a School
That each individual will have access to Health Care
Pray for Haiti and the Haitians

Pray for Haiti and the Haitians
For all Hatians - at home - and livng abroad
That they will lose self-interest and help their neighbours
That they will accept Foreign Aid without prejudice
That they will recover from this devastation as soon as possible
Pray for Haiti and the Haitians

Please pray every day for Haiti and the Haitians
Please encourage other to pray for Haiti and the Hatians
Please help and encourage your Government to supprt Haiti
Please donate all you can afford to support Haiti - TODAY
Please encourage others to support Haiti - TODAY
Please pray every day for Haiti and the Haitians

(John Knight - Sunny Colchester - 17 January 2010)

This catastrophe is part of our experience too if we are world citizens and this appeal John, written from your caring heart will echo in the hearts of all who read and care too. May your honest and sincere prayers be taken up by many; and may what we pray for bring comfort and help to the dear ones who are in one way or another victims of this earthquake.
