I just heard the news of the earthquake and my heart is aching for everyone at EGO and in Port-au-prince. I can't even begin to imagine what is happening there right now. Please be in prayer for Don & Doris Peavey and the beautiful children at E.G.O. Pray for the hand of God, which has always held them, to give them peace. E.G.O. has for a long time been considered a "safe haven" of sorts... an "oasis" of beauty and peace in a spiritually war-torn and impoverished country. Don and Doris have been and continue to be lights shining for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. I know that even now in the midst of this catastrophe they will continue to glorify Him. I will post any updates as soon as I receive them.
Please also be in prayer for some college students raised at E.G.O. who are currently living and studying in Port-au-prince. Please be in prayer for their safety and also that they would be able to somehow communicate with Don & Doris at this time.
There is also Jack and Jeanne at F.O.H.O. (Friends of Haiti Organization) in Port-au-Prince (and Katie Zook, who has taken this first year after her college graduation to minister with them). Please be in prayer for them right now as well. When I think of them, I think of their passion to spread the love of Christ across Haiti and also their passion for Haiti to come to love and accept Christ as their Savior. They have started the "saying" (for lack of a better word), "Haiti pour Christ". Which translates in English to, "Haiti for Christ". They say that Christ has always been for Haiti, but it's time for Haiti to repent and turn to Him.
Russ and Sherri Cole are also at F.O.H.O. currently. They have been in Haiti for a couple of months, spending time at E.G.O. as well. Please be in prayer for their safety, as well as for peace of mind for their children back in the states.
Please also lift up Dr. Dan and DeeDee Snyder. I believe they are currently back in Haiti as well. They reside in Port-au-Prince and Dr. Dan travels into Dessalines to the hospital once a week. They also have young adult children living in the United States.
"Sovereign God, we lift up Your name! You are worthy to be praised now and forevermore! You are God of the city of Port-au-prince. You are God of the town of Dessalines. May Your All-Powerful and Merciful Name be called upon and may the Haitian people turn to You in the midst of this catasrophe. We lift up our loved brothers and sisters to You. They have been called by You to minister to Your children in Haiti. Protect them. Give them strength to meet the needs of those You bring to them today. Encourage them. Gather them under Your wings of protection and peace. Give them wisdom. Give them courage. Give them peace. Above all, MAY YOUR NAME BE PRAISED. THERE IS NO ONE LIKE OUR GOD."
