** Update- we have received reports that the HOPE Community Center has sustained some damage as well as many homes in the community.

Haiti experienced a 7.0 Earthquake this morning. It was felt throughout the country but damage is being reported in the Jeremie and Les Cayes region. Duchity sits between those cities. We await word on the status of our community and volunteers. Please pray for those that may be trapped or injured. Many concrete buildings have collapsed. Pray that medical personnel will be able to quickly assess and treat. Most importantly, may Christ be close to the broken and scared. This will certainly bring back fear and trauma from the 2010 Earthquake.
