Good overview below and here by Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church/Seattle on the damage done by the Haitian earthquake.

He and pastor James McDonald from Chicago spent 32 hours after the quake on-the-ground.

This provides a good, broad historical background on Haiti for those not familiar with Haiti.  He describes not only how devastating this earthquake was to the people, but also how and why the work of churches is essential to the recovery and rebuilding of Haiti.

If you’re looking for a fairly short (about an hour) overview of the Haiti earthquake and how the church is responding and why this response is essential, this is excellent.

Please share broadly.

He was right where He always is – in the midst of His people.

See this story (video below) about 69-year-old Ena Zizi, who was trapped for 7 days in the rubble of the National Cathedral in Port-Au-Prince while praying, along with other stories.

This Telegraph report is one of the few from secular news sources who recognize and report of God’s hand in the disaster:

Cross International efforts in Haiti can be tracked here.

Please pray for three of our project officers – Mike Henry, Mike Wilson, and Claudio Merisio – who are on the ground in Port-au-Prince with our partners in Haiti.

Just for fun:  Go to this site, type in a Christmas song to have it sung to you by ‘the chins.’

Also:  type in a non-Christmas song and watch the response.

God of all Creation, Lord of heaven’s light
Descended into evil’s darkest night
Infinitely Holy, Your perfections know no end
Selflessly You died my rightful death

By this we know love that He laid down His life
God’s very own Son came from Heaven to die
Suspended He hung as He shed His own blood
What grace in His pardon, by this we know love

Forsaken man of sorrows, hated by all men
You willingly surrendered for my sin
Scornfully derided, yet in silence stumbling on
Bearing wrath for all that I’ve done wrong
