The World Turned Upside Down

Thank the Lord that He is in control, not man.
If you have seen the news lately you will know that Haiti is in turmoil at the present time. There is looting and rioting in the streets. The American Embassy has been shut down and people have died. There have been multiple arrests. You do not want to be arrested in Haiti. The orphanage and the clinic is OK so far. PLEASE pray for haiti. In a place where children die every hour from hunger, the rising food prices are driving people to acts of violence to survive.
Johane cannot return home at this time. The road from the airport is unsafe, the streets are barricaded with burning tires and debris and the mission trip for April has been cancelled. I haven't told her yet, but I will need to tell her soon. I will also have to tell her family, but I suspect that they will know and understand. The places in the news stories are places I know and have been to. Port-au-prince, petitionville. That is where Johane's family lives and the orphanage, school and clinic are located.
Pray for safety for the orphans, the staff, the students, the nannys and the families that we serve. May God watch over and protect Johane's family as well.
Lord Jesus, rain down your love and power in this dark time. Restore peace. Provide food. Restore sanity and safety. We ask this In Jesus's Holy Name. Amen
