Sad what is happening there. 1.6 thousand dead and 1.5 million people driven from their homes in just three months after the assassination of President Moïse - it seems that no one is in control anymore. Pray for them too, because the situation is a nightmare.

Hannah King

That's awful. 1,600 dead and 1.5 million displaced in just three months is hard to wrap my head around. I'll add Haiti to my prayer list tonight.

Vasilika Thanasi

As dire as it sounds, with 1,600 dead and 1.5 million displaced in just three months after Moïse's assassination. I don't know what to say except that I will pray for them tonight at church because no one seems to be stopping this.

Mihaela Tudor

Yes, it is terrible what is happening in Haiti after the assassination of Moïse. 1,600 dead and 1.5 million people driven from their homes in three months is a number that hits you straight. I will also mention them in prayer tonight, may God give them strength to get through this.

Anastasia Kristo

Yes, the numbers are scary – 1,600 dead and so many displaced in such a short time. I too will pray for them tonight in church, as you do. Have you heard any new news from our people out there working on missions?

Peter Johnson

That's a brutal number of people affected so quickly. I've been praying for the families caught in the gang violence there too, especially after seeing how it's shut down hospitals and food supplies. What specifically are you asking for when you pray for Haiti?
