"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea..." - Psalm 46:1-2

May we continue to lift up the Field Staff, Sponsored Children, and people of Haiti in our prayers.

OC Community,

Many of you heard the news of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. If you would like to donate to the relief efforts, please visit your Compassion Office web site. The global Compassion team is posting news and creating ways for you to get involved through supporting the relief efforts. Please continue to pray and ask for God's mercy on the children and Compassion staff in Haiti.

We also encourage you to visit the Heart for Haiti group so you can meet people who sponsor children in Haiti and pray with them. God's blessings on you and the people of Haiti.

I thank everyone for sharing information here. I have to tell you, it can be so encouraging to others who are still waiting to hear about their sponsor children.
