Pray for Haiti

During our twelve years in Haiti we often requested prayers on behalf of the country and people that we have learned to love and appreciate.  Though we are not living in Haiti any more, we would like to inform you that your prayers are still needed.  For the last ten days Haiti has been in crises as anti-government demonstrations have closed roads, schools and commerce throughout Haiti.  The demonstrations began eight months ago in response to tax hikes and complaints of corruption.  Currently, demonstrators are calling for the resignation of Haiti's President, Jovnel Moise and the Prime Ministry, Henri Ceant.  At this point these leaders are unwilling to accede to such demands.  Also, the United Nations Stabilization Force withdrew some months ago, so the Haitian Police are on their own to maintain order.  Resonate missionaries have voluntarily departed Haiti for the time-being as dire warnings have been issued by the international community.  We know that God is not done with Haiti and that our missionaries have a role to play in country.  Pray that God would send men and women of peace into Haitian government and society to find some common ground and bring an end to this painful instability.
