The epicenter of this major quake was just 10 miles west of Porte-au-Prince and its 2 million inhabitants and sent 33 aftershocks ranging in magnitude from 4.2 to 5.9. Over 3 million people are in need of emergency aid after major earthquake.

Update 1/16/2010
We have two teams departing for Haiti within the next few days. Our first team will leave tomorrow and will begin preparations for the second team that will depart on Tuesday. Tomorrow’s prep team includes representatives from International Crisis Aid, Grace International, Medi-Share and Victory. Please keep this team in your prayers as they arrive and begin to make assessments of the situation at Grace International’s compound.

The second team, departing on Tuesday, will include a team of 50 medical professionals from Gwinnett Medical and others through Hospitals for Humanity. This flight will also include Grace International Pastors Joel & Doris Jeune as well as many of the supplies donated to our collection center. Please keep this team in your prayers, the medical team includes surgeons who will begin much needed operations as soon as they arrive at the Grace International compound.

We are proud of the partnership of all of these organizations to bring hope and healing to the precious people of Haiti.
