On Tuesday, January 12, the island nation of Haiti was stuck by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake.
Although OM does not have staff in Haiti, we do have ministry relationships with local churches and orphanages. Once the extent of the need is known, OM plans to have some involvement in relief efforts. This will be similar to our involvement following a hurricane there in 2008. This would involve assisting with medical relief teams and providing food and supplies to the orphanages we have worked with in the past, which are presumed to be damaged. If our local church partners are involved in relief, we will work through them to assist with supplies.
Please pray for the people of Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, and for wisdom for OM leaders and other believers as they seek to bring help.
