Pray for Haiti



Troy and Tara Livesay are friends I know through my college roommate Sharon and her husband Jamie. I was a bridesmaid in S&J's wedding Troy was a groomsman. They're now in Haiti serving as missionaries. In a nutshell, they are missionaries called to work with orphans/neglected children and pregnant Haitians. I've been able to keep in touch with them through their blog. Which gives a true picture of family life in ministry in Haiti.

As you can imagine the earthquake in Haiti has thrown their world into chaos and pain. Please join me in praying for this family and the people of Haiti.

Here is their blog: http://livesayhaiti.blogspot.com/

They live in Port-Au-Prince, and their house is still standing but damaged. But the city is in utter chaos. 5 of their 7 kids have just been evacuated to the States where they'll be under the care of their oldest daughter Britt, her husband and Tara's parents. Troy and Tara will remain in Haiti to focus on relief efforts, water purification, searching for people and whatever else God requires of them.

Troy has been been tweeting regularly http://twitter.com/troylivesay and posting some photos on flicker http://www.flickr.com/photos/livesay/ and video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/tl7inhaiti.
