A Nation Cries Out in Desperation

On January 12, 2010, the earth groaned and trembled beneath the nation of Haiti. Within just seconds, hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives. Millions became helpless and homeless. It was a devastation of the masses that left the nation paralyzed with fear and hopelessness.

Exactly one month later, the president of Haiti publicly acknowledged the nation’s need for God. He cancelled the Mardi Gras celebrations and declared three days of fasting and prayer for Haiti. For three days, in front of the national presidential palace, an estimated one million people gathered to pray, worship, read Scripture, and cry out to God in repentance.

As the people sought God’s forgiveness and the healing of their land, at least 3,000 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Reports are that dozens of voodoo priests also experienced salvation in Christ.

Desperation will do that.
