Praying for Haiti (February 2010)

As a Christian community, we join together to share in each others’ joy - and carry each other’s burdens. Please join us in praying for the people of Haiti and for the relief efforts being mounted by the international community. 

• The recent earthquake in Haiti has brought pain and turmoil into the lives of the island’s inhabitants, with many experiencing the loss of their homes and loved ones. Please pray for all those who have been dispossessed or bereaved as a result of the crisis, that they might experience the peace and comfort of God.
• In the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake, many will be attempting to come to terms with what they have witnessed and to accept what they have lost. In such circumstances, it’s important that churches and Christian organisations have the necessary pastoral resources to allay people’s fears and point them to God. Please pray for the efforts of numerous organisations to provide the people of Haiti with words of hope and comfort in a language they can understand.
