Haiti

None of us can fail to be moved by the dreadful news from Haiti. I urge you to pray and give whatever financial support you can - a number of HT's Mission partners are on the ground and offer fast, effective routes to help. Mission Aviation Fellowship have planes and pilots at work and Christian Aid staff (having rescued themselves) are coordinating a variety of efforts - their websites offer details of how to give. Christian Aid also offer this prayer which we will be using in church on Sunday.....
Loving God of creation,
at this time of devastation
we hold before you the people of Haiti.
When the damage is unimaginable,
and the suffering seems overwhelming,
remind us that every person affected
is loved, honoured and precious in your sight.
We remember all those who have been hurt;
all who have lost their homes, livelihoods and loved ones.
Work through us to bring healing
to broken and distorted lives,
peace to those who have been thrown into despair,
light to those in darkness,
and hope to those who fear.
We ask this in the name of Jesus
in whom all life and grace is found.
Amen
