World Vision, World Relief, Samaritan's Purse, Red Cross and other emergency relief organizations are deploying relief workers and aid.

PRAY for the children, families, and communities affected by this disaster, and pray for disaster relief workers from World Vision, World Relief, Red Cross, etc. who are preparing for an emergency response.  Also Bodie Ulysse is part of our church - he is from Haiti and many from his family live in Haiti - we just heard that most of them live north of the capital and seem to be safe.
