Missionaries in Haiti safe from earthquake

“Call on me in times of trouble.  I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.”  (Psalm 50:15)

By now, you know about the devastating earthquake that hit this country on January 12^th.  Our hearts are filled with sorrow as we see the pain and suffering of the people on this island nation.

We received word yesterday that our missionaries, Gersan and Betty Valcin (see photo), were not injured in the earthquake. Their home is still standing, but the government has asked them to leave due to the risks associated with the aftershocks.

We have no information regarding the five Awana clubs in Port-au-Prince.  Please join the Awana staff as we pray for the people of Haiti, for our missionaries and for the Awana leaders and clubbers in these churches:  Eglise Baptiste Conservatrice, Eglise Tabernacle de la foi, Ecole Vision Nouvelle, College Ruben Marc and Eglise Evangelique de Nazon.
