We REMEMBER. We BELIEVE (Moment of Silence for Haiti: 04:53:10 pm [EST])

12 Jan

As 04:53:10 pm on the 2nd year anniversary of the Earthquake in Haiti approaches, we all REMEMBER that day and appreciate life more as a result of it.  To see a city…a nation reduced to rubble in 35 seconds was beyond humbling; it felt as if the world stood still.  For a moment in time, the world stopped and noticed the little island 600 miles off coast Florida and watched as the horror developed.

Men, woman and children called out in agony while trapped beneath piles of concrete and steel.  Newborn lives cut short, children left without parents and parents left without children. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost that day and millions were forever changed.  Just imagine losing your entire family and everything you own in the same day; everything you have ever loved and worked for gone, just like that.

Today we remember Haiti and we pray for her on behalf of all those that truly BELIEVE in “A Brighter Future for Haiti”.

We pray that the hundreds of thousands of people who lost their lives have found peace, and that their families are healing from the pain of losing a loved one.

We ask that God watch over the abandoned children, protect the vulnerable and heal the sick.

We pray for all those who continue to live in temporary shelters and makeshift tents, even more so for the parents that are raising children in the IDP tent camps and the elderly in need of care.

On January 12, 2010 at 04:53:10 pm the lives of the Haitian people were forever changed.  Today, January 12, 2012 at 04:53:10 pm [EST] we call on all supporters of Haiti to observe a Moment of Silence in honor of the earthquake victims, their families and those who continue to struggle.  Let us come together and reflect on where Haiti was 2 years ago while recognizing some of the positive progress that has been made in the country so far.

There is strength in unity and promise for our people.  Let us keep Haiti in our hearts and continue to lift her up through our actions.

L’Union fait la force!
