LAKELAND, Fla. – The air was crisp and families in Haiti that are still suffering in the aftermath of the devastating 7.0 earthquake that struck a year ago on January 12.
The Florida Baptist Children’s Homes marked the one year anniversary of the earthquake this past Wednesday by lifting up the many needs of that country in prayer at all of their campus locations across the state.
Eron Green, central division administrator for the Children’s Homes led the prayer on the Lakeland campus.
“We prayed specifically for the stability and continue to suffer because of the very difficult conditions resulting from the earthquake,” Green said.
The Children’s Homes has been very active in helping to collect food and families in Haiti. In addition, they have led several mission trips to Haiti to help some select orphanages improve their level of care.
The Children’s Homes’ international childcare program, One More Child, is leading a mission trip to Haiti later this year to assist with the ongoing rebuilding of an orphanage that was severely damaged in the earthquake.
