As most of you are aware, there was a devistating earthquake in Haiti yesterday, January 12th. Haiti Lifeline Ministries has 21 work team members at the Centre for Children's International Lifeline Orphanage. We recieved a "stray" text message last night indicating that they were all okay, however, one of the walls of the orphanage had collapsed.
Obviously when you have a 9' wall with razor wire, it is there for a reason. We are very concerned for the safety and security of our team as well as the children.
We have been in contact with the state department, and Sen. Brownback's office. They have taken all of our information, and have indicated that there will be a military presence in Haiti to help coordinate the extraction of our people to safety.
Please keep everyone in Haiti in your prayers. We will try to update the information as we get it.
