Haiti Earthquake Update

Thanks for the outpouring of prayers, concerns and support for brothers and sisters in Haiti.

As you are aware the Port-au-Prince, Haiti and a 10 mile area surrounding the capital city was hit by one of the largest earthquakes of the last 200 years. News reports are estimating that there has been significant damage to over 50 percent of the existing buildings in Port-au-Prince, including the Presidential Palace. Regrettably, we are also getting reports of deaths numbering in the thousands.

We have heard from Sister Elvire Medna-Douglas, WMS Connectional Asst. Recording Secretary and translator for the Bishop and Supervisor. Sister Douglas reports that she was several miles outside the city at the time of the earthquake but felt the tremors. She too has not been able to reach any of her family or church members as of this time. However, we have not been able to get through to any of the presiding elders, pastors or members of the churches in Port-au Prince as of this time.

Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti. We will update this site as more information becomes available.
