Day of Prayer and Fasting in Haiti

Reposted from Bob Morikawa's blog "Where is Bob?," who is currently in Haiti.

"Today has been declared by the government as a national day of prayer and fasting. It is a month since the quake and churches across the country are holding services all morning to remember the victims and reflect. According to government reports, the country has lost 25% of leadership and intellectuals. From where I sit at my laptop I can hear at least a couple of different services going on with a lot of singing and praying. Apparently in one part of the city, a fasting and prayer vigil and a food distribution were planned for the same location, causing confusion and consternation. "

As you go about your day, please take some time to join with our brothers and sisters in prayer, reflection, and remembrance.
