Cholera Outbreak in Haiti

Please keep Haiti in your prayers in the coming days and weeks! There's been an outbreak of Cholera in the north of Haiti. It's still a few hours away from where i am. The first cases were seen on Tuesday, and already at least 194 people have died from it! it's spreading fairly quickly, and i fear what would happen if it were to hit Port Au Prince and the tent cities! There are about 1.5 million people living in about 1.000 unsanitary tent camps. People living close together without proper waste disposal or clean water.......it would spread like wildfire. SO we need to be utilizing the power we have in prayer! God can do great things when believers unite in prayer for a common cause! DO NOT underestimate the impact that you can have on a situation like this!

There are lots of articles that can be found about this on the internet, so i won't say much more. Please pray that we here at GLA would remain strong so that we could be available for whatever part God may have for us to play in helping the people of Haiti. I just hope against hope that this will peter out quickly!

Here's one article that i found to be quite informative.

I was just listening to some music as i wrote, and this song happened to be one that played. it's called 'Let Your Mercy Rain' by Chris Tomlin. This song is for Haiti! it would be better if the physical, weather rain would hold off for a while, though, i think. that could simply make matters worse!

God, You have done great things
God, You give grace to the weak
And bless the brokenhearted
With a song of praise to sing
You reached down and lifted us up
You came running, looking for us
And now there's nothing
And no one beyond Your love

You're the overflow
You're the fountain of my heart
Let Your mercy rain
Let Your mercy rain on us

You're the faithful one
When the world's falling apart
Let Your mercy rain
Let Your mercy rain on us

How deep, how wide, how long, how high is Your love ... is Your love
How deep, how wide, how long, how high is Your love ... is Your love
Oh, God

Let it rain


Praying that God will continue to do great things in Haiti.
