My colleague Dave at Food for the Hungry spoke from his heart at Chapel on Wednesday, about his recent visit to Haiti.  Dave has many years of experience in international development and considerable teaching gifts, so his devotionals hit both your heart and your intellect.

He put the depth of the losses in Haiti into perspective for us.  The 2004 Asian tsunami  caused an estimated 230,000 deaths in 12 countries; the death toll in Haiti has surpassed that, with the damage concentrated in one country.  The government buildings are in ruins.  We were horrified when during 9-11, the Pentagon took a  hit. What if the White House and several of the cabinet-level offices were leveled in one fell swoop?  That’s what’s happened to Haiti.
