Update on Hopps in Haiti after earthquake

Dear Friends,

I just copied this off of the Hopps’ blog, reporting they are OK. If you haven’t heard, a 7.0 quake hit Port-au-Prince a few hours ago. Please pray for the Hopps as there will be many problems and opportunities to minister as the tremors continue and the extent of damage and loss of life is tallied.

The earthquake in Haiti about an hour ago did damage places south of us but here at Kaliko we only experience strong tremors. No damage to buildings or property.
Heather was at home on our deck. She said at first she thought a truck had an accident on the highway and was rolling down the hill towards the house. The tremors lasted about 20 seconds here. The kids and I were down in the pool at Kaliko. I stood up and had a hard time staying in one place. The kids did not freak out but the pool was like a wave pool, with water spilling out the sides. We are grateful to be OK. We are still experiencing some light aftershocks as I write this.

Do pray for folks in Port-au-Prince. There are reports of a hospital collapse and other buildings damaged. The cell phone networks are down here so we can’t contact friends in country.
