Bethany Christian Services asks for your prayers for all of the people in Haiti, as they try to recover from the devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck near Port-Au-Prince yesterday.

We are thankful to God that all of the children and staff at our partner, God's Littlest Angels orphanage, were not harmed.

Here is a direct link to the God's Littlest Angels website. Dixie, the director, also posted an update on her blog
early this morning, describing the earthquake's effects at the orphanage. Per her blog, "...The building stayed standing and John cannot find any cracks in the walls which is pretty amazing!... The nannies came in at 10 PM but we had two strong after shocks about midnight and the nannies and babies are sleeping outside on the ground on blankets!"

We have also received reports that the children and staff at our other partner, Creche Enfants Jesus, are all safe. Here is a link to the latest information from that orphanage.

If you would like to financially help the children in Haiti, Bethany Christian Services has set up a fund for earthquake recovery in Haiti. We will work with our partners on the ground in Haiti to utilize these donations to help make sure children in Haiti are safe.
Please go to www.bethany.org/donate and select Haiti-Earthquake Recovery as your gift designation.
