Haiti

The people of Haiti are in desperate need of prayer and any financial help we can send them. The reports are still coming in after a massive 7.0 earthquake and looking grim all around. Some reports of possibly thousands dead. Collateral damage everywhere.
There is a missionary organization there with connections to our home church Auburn Bible Chapel, through the Rodin family here in Peterborough called Seeds of  Hope. The website is http://www.seedsofhopeministries.ca/. Please support them if you can. Even a small amount will help.

Father I pray for the people in Haiti whose situation I'm sure is desperate in many circumstances. I pray that relief efforts will not be in vain or hindered in any way. I pray that You will make a way, where there is no way. That people get help and provisions as soon as humanly possible. I pray that much attention will come to this tiny nation concerning its poverty and the aids epidemic that has ravaged the country. I pray that the forces of evil eveloping this nation(voodoo) be broken and be replaced by the saving Grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. I pray that many will call on Jesus' name in this time of tragedy, and see much tangible evidence of His wonderful, loving, caring  power and come to a  saving knowledge of Him.
I don't question why Father. It's futile to do so.We know there is purpose in all things. We know you have allowed this to happen for some reason. Your ways are above and beyond ours. We probably wouldn't understand anyway if you did tell us why...
I just lift these people up to you now LORD. Many will be hurting with broken bones and in pain. Many have lost loved ones and have broken hearts. Many have lost virtually everything including hope.
Father God please heal this tiny nation's brokenness as only You can.
In Jesus' name I pray.

"The LORD is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18
