the ayars affairs

My first year student, Alfred, was back from Gonaive today. For three days he has been searching, asking, calling and praying for his sister, her husband and their five children. He retuned late last night with nothing: no sight of them, no news, no hope for them.

"I guess they are all dead," he told Matt and I before class this morning, clearly overwhelmed and broken. He is just one of many of our students who have family in Gonaive that have been unable to get ahold of them. Hundreds have died throughout Haiti this past week, and thousands are now found homeless with no food or clean water in sight. Everyone is obviously heavy, especially as we continue to experience golden days and dry streets.

Please continue to be praying for everyone involved, for aid, for these men and women students who are so dear to us, and for Haiti as she continues to struggle. May He continue to be the Hope of the Hopeless.
