Haiti Earthquake Relief Update

OM USA is sending out a six-member emergency response team to serve several orphanages in Haiti. Each team member is certified in search and rescue. The group will first search the rubble of a school just outside Port-au-Prince for possible survivors. As many as 2,000 children may be buried there beneath the rubble. No rescue teams have yet been in the area where they are going.

Water is the greatest need for an orphanage that was miraculously spared. The kids are sleeping outside since it is unknown how safe their building is, but praise God for protecting these children. The town around this orphanage was completely destroyed, so the orphanage is providing aid to the neighborhood survivors.

Pray for this team as they go, that the Lord will protect them and that they will be able to find anyone still alive.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.
James 1:27
