From Eleanor Shepherd, whose husband Glen was recently in Haiti delivering medicine and supplies as well as volunteer medical personnel:
Every Friday in my regular early morning prayer time, I pray for several countries specifically. One of them is Haiti.
On the morning of January 8th, I felt particularly burdened as I prayed for that country. Usually, I use the Scriptures as a guide when I pray. That Friday morning, as I prayed for Haiti the verse that I read was from Acts 4. The Contemporary English Version says in verse 30, “Show your mighty power, as we heal people and work miracles and wonders in the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
I found it a beautiful image but had no idea how significant it would be just a few days later, after the earthquake hit on Tuesday, January 12th. Does that mean that I think God orchestrated the earthquake that caused so much pain, suffering and grief for the people of Haiti, so that these gracious deeds could be done?
