We know it's devastating, but the extent is still unclear. We also know our hearts are broken. It's too much for people in Haiti to be asked to bear. <br><br>Haiti Partners co-diretor John Engle is in Port-au-Prince right now with his wife, Merline, and their children Daniel and Layla. They're all fine, which we're very grateful for. In the coming hours we'll be doing our best to get in touch with many other Haitian colleagues and friends. (I, Kent, am in Florida right now.)<br><br>Here's a link to a New York Times article: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/world/americas/13haiti.html?hp">http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/world/americas/13haiti.html?hp</a><br><br>People have already been generously asking how to help. First, we'd ask for your prayers for the many people who have been effected immediately--and in the days ahead as the suffering ripples out. Second, it's too early to know now the best response for Haiti Partners' work, but we'll be talking with people at the schools, churches, and other groups we partner with to see how they've been effected and how we best can help. We'll immediately set up a fund to respond to these needs.<br><br>With hearts broken, with longing for God's mercy and grace, and with profound gratitude for your prayers,<br><br>Kent (co-director) <div> </div> <div>Link to New York Times article:</div> <div><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/world/americas/13haiti.html?hp">http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/world/americas/13haiti.html?hp</a></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #66563e;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times;"> </span></span><span style="color: #cc3333;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica;"><a href="http://www.haitipartners.org/" style="font-size:12pt;" title="website">www.HaitiPartners.org</a></span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 14pt;"> </div> <div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times;"><strong><a href="https://app.etapestry.com/hosted/BeyondBorders/OnlineDonation.html" title="Donate"><strong style="font-size:14pt;">Donate</strong></a></strong></span></div> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;padding-bottom:10px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:10px;padding-left:10px;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="html block_divider guideBlock" id="l8YbOW1b" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma,Geneva;color:#333333;padding:5px;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 2px;"> <td class="dividerColor" style="border-collapse:collapse;background-color:#CCCCCC;color:#333333;font-family:Tahoma,Geneva;font-size:10pt;"> <div style="font-size:1px;line-height:1px;"> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;border-collapse:collapse;" valign="top" width="50%"> </td> <td align="left" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;border-collapse:collapse;" valign="top" width="50%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" colspan="2" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;border-collapse:collapse;" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div id="optOutContents" style="clear:both;border-top:1px solid #aaa;margin-top:30px;font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"> <div> <a href="https://app.etapestry.com/prod/optOut.do?principleRef=5257.0.371776&email=peggy%40opencirclecompany.com&databaseId=BeyondBorders&jobRef=4746.0.57151515" id="eTapOptOutLink"> Remove my name from all future email correspondence </a> </div> <div> </div> <div><em>Address postal inquiries to:</em></div> <div>Beyond Borders</div> <div>PO Box 2132</div> <div> Norristown, PA 19404-2132 </div> <div><em>Powered By</em></div> <div> <a href="http://www.etapestry.com/"><img align="middle" alt="eTapestry" border="0" src="http://content.delivra.com/etapcontent/etap_logo.jpg"></a> </div> </div></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></div><br></div></div></body></html>*
