PRAY FOR HAITI DAILY DEVOTION DAY 22
GLOBAL PRAYER INITIATIVE OF HAITIAN CHURCHES
Theme Verse 2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

As we are praying and asking the Lord to heal our land, we must begin with Haiti’s youngest citizens; our children. Since the earthquake, our children have been exposed to many dangers
The U.N. estimates that as many as 300,000 Haitian children are separated from their families and live in unpaid domestic servitude. They typically work from dawn till dusk with little or no time to play or form friendships. Many are physically, emotionally, and sexually abused. And few are given the chance to attend school. Another major danger for Haiti’s children is trafficking. Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said in an exclusive interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday that after the quake, because of the growing number of orphans, illegal child trafficking is "one of the biggest problems that we have."
Our children are Haiti’s future, if we don’t protect, take care and provide for them now Haiti will have no future.

Pray: Ask God to turn our hearts towards Haiti’s children. That Haiti’s Child welfare laws would be enforced and the children would be protected.

Act: Churches in Haiti need the support of the Diaspora churches to start new educational programs and fund or support existing educational programs for the children. Every church in Haiti should a have school with qualified and well trained teachers. We have to make it Happen
