We have posted a prayer resource on our website. We will continue to post more urgent and time sensitive prayer requests here and on our facebook.
Please pray for 2 World Relief International workers who were in Haiti before the earthquake that have not been accounted for (their other 38 staff have all been accounted for). Please also pray for a staff member who lost a child and another whose child is injured.
Please pray for our medical partner whose first response team arrived yesterday. Pray for their surgical team who will arrive on the 18th.
