Prayers are needed

Over joyed at the response that is enroute, especially from some of the community members here.
Your hands and hearts will be doing so much down there. Bless you all.
Thank you all that are responding to Haiti and we will pray for you as well. :engel016:

Overwhelming. I just can't get that word out of my head as I continue to see the devastation. :kilroy:

Thank you, Marlin. :applause:


EDIT: Looking at that in Google Earth, you can see all of the people in the streets.
One building you can see was above tree level, now the trees tower over it.
 
Just made a donation to RedCross.org. I they have a 'DONATE NOW' button at the top right, and on the next page, you can select where it will go, and I chose Haiti.



Wombat, I'll be praying for Sofie. Thats a huge job ahead of her. God bless her man..


I was just watching some news video on this on the BBC website. Horiffic...


All those huge buildings, lowered to stacks of floors. The walls gone. From my point of view, the Island is wiped out.

Just thought of something. Haiti shares the island with Dominican Republic, yet I see no word on the quake's effect on them. It's not a huge island.
Marlin,
I'm sure most animals are livestock, and eaten/sacrificed by the locals. But in every country, some one's got a pet, somewhere. Can missionaries be taught to fetch?

Médecins Sans Frontières Australia are setting up a 100 bed emergency hospital and already have had people on the scene for a couple of days (it's Friday our time).
My wife will be departing on Saturday early morning, I can't argue about this one as she is a Paediatric Specialist and the kids over there really need her.
I do get very displeased when MSF ask her to go to such unfriendly areas as the Sudan ...... not that Sofie takes any notice.

Thats a tough thing......She must be a remarkable woman to do things as such....She and you will be in my prayers too..

My sister is also on a disaster recovery team out of Chapel Hill NC, and will probably go there at some point..Their team tests for dangerous chemicals, water, gasses, and the such...

This was from JUST the big 7.0

I have heard that the area is still suffering the effects of aftershocks, at times two or more a day, with some as high as 4.0 on the scale.

I dont' believe this is far from over yet till the plates decide to quit moving.
 
43 of them as of last night Ted.

That picture that I posted above was from two nights ago. I would rephrase your statement to say something like; some of them were as low as 4.0 but most were higher.
