FROM THE BLOG 2/5/10:

Massive Earthquake Hits Haiti
On January 12, 2010 a massive earthquake hit Port-au-Prince destroying thousands of homes and buildings. The falling debris killed hundreds of thousands of people and trapped hundreds more beneath falling buildings. Before the earthquake the average Haitian lived day to day often eating only one meal a day. Since the earthquake basic necessities such as food, water, shelter and medical care are in dangerously short supply. The people of Haiti are in need of help now more than ever before. Mission Haiti Inc. is collecting food, water, medical supplies, clothing and other life sustaining items to send to the people of Haiti. In addition to meeting the physical needs of the Haitian people Mission Haiti Inc. is helping to meet the spiritual needs of Haiti through our many ministries that have been working in Haiti since March 1983.

We are asking our friends and supporters to help in meeting the tremendous need of the Haitian people. The Mission Haiti Inc. compound located 30 miles north of Port-au-Prince is providing food, water, and medical care as long as they have the supplies to do so.
