Please be in prayer for the country of Haiti. As some of you may have read in the news there are several protests happening right now. The protests began over the high cost of food here. Unfortunately, they have turned violent. I do not want anyone to panic. WE ARE SAFE!!! The violence is no where near where we live!!! The children at the orphanage are also safe.
The prices have risen drastically in the last few weeks. Rice, beans, cornmeal all have doubled in price. It is affecting items brought into the stores as well. A few weeks ago I was able to buy a carton of yogurt for around $0.50US, today I paid $2.00!! Gas went from $4.80US a gallon to $5.90.
People who could have fed their families a few weeks ago on their minimal salaries no longer can. Life in Haiti; already difficult beyond measure, has become even worse.
Please, pray for peace. Pray for the leaders to make wise decisions. Pray for the UN troops to think clearly. Pray for the Haitian people who are full of anger and do not see that violence is not the answer. Pray for us to remain calm. Pray that the violence ends without injury or death to anyone! Please pray!!!
