Once again God has moved in mighty ways to expand our reach as we launch another Mercy Truck ministry.

On January 12, 2010 the island nation of Haiti was struck with a catastrophic earthquake with a magnitude 7.0. Its epicenter was approximately 25 km (16 miles) west of Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. By January 24 the United States Geological Survey had recorded at least 52 aftershocks measuring 4.5 or greater. The International Red Cross estimated that about three million people were affected by the quake; Haitian President Rene Preval stated on the 27th of January that "nearly 170,000" bodies had been counted. The New York Times reported on January 28 that 20,000 commercial buildings and 225,000 residences had collapsed or were severely damaged. The human suffering will continue for longer than anyone is willing to guess.
