Earthquake in Haiti

As most of you have heard by now, Haiti was hit by a massive 7.0 earthquake yesterday. In the Lord's providence, a mission team from Erskine college and seminary is in Haiti at this time. We have not heard from them yet. Please pray for them. While it is certainly good for us to pray for their safety during this time, we must not stop there. The Lord has strategically placed them in a time and place where they can be ministers of light and hope. My wife spent some time in Haiti when she was in high school, and she can testify to the spiritual darkness that fills that place (voodoo, witch doctors, etc.). Pray for the salvation of many. Our prayers go out to the people of Haiti.

Update:

I received an email update from my friend Brett regarding the Haiti mission team. Here is his email:

Thank you for your prayers and continued intercession for Haiti. The Erskine Wellness Mission group is located 90 miles from the city Port-au-Prince, so it is believed that they are safe, however there are many lives lost and families devastated. Only God can intervene and supply the needed healing and restoration.
