Support the relief effort: Haiti Earthquake Relief
LCMS World Relief and Human Care Disaster Response
Keep all those suffering in Haiti in your prayers. The seminary has a deaconess intern there who is confirmed to be safe. We also have a student from Haiti who has not been able to reach his father on the phone, but expect him to be safe as well.
Tuesday afternoon, January 12th, the worst earthquake in 200 years – 7.0 in magnitude – struck less than ten miles from the Caribbean city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The initial quake was later followed by twelve aftershocks greater than magnitude 5.0. Structures of all kinds were damaged or collapsed, from shantytown homes to national landmarks. It is still very early in the recovery effort, but millions are likely displaced, and thousands are feared dead as rescue teams from all over the world are now descending on Haiti to help where they are able. As this is a developing subject, I will be adding photos to this entry over the next few days, but at the moment, here is a collection of photos from Haiti over the past 24 hours. (48 photos total)
