Healing the land includes using the resources of the land God gave us



PRAY FOR HAITI DAY 32
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.

According to French scientists Daniel and Ginette Mathuri Haiti has large deposits of gold, iridium, uranium, and zyconium. Iridium, uranium, and zyconium are radioactive minerals used to make nuclear materials. Alexander Poujol and Henry Thomasset produced a map in 1908 that revealed a major oil reservoir in Haiti near the source of the River Thomonde, said Georges Michel in 2004. “The deposit of oil in question straddles the boundary between the boroughs of Hinche and Mirebalais in a mountainous area located at the foot of the chain of the Black Mountains, direction due west of Thomond. Haiti is rich with natural resources. Enough resources where 9 million citizen of Haiti can live comfortably and even be a resource for its neighbors. The land of Haiti can be healed however, due to the politics and bureaucracy of leaders who are self-serving many are suffering. When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan. Proverbs 29:2 Haiti has been groaning for years and need relief.

PRAY: Ask the Lord to change the hearts of the leaders and policy makers and bring media attention to Haiti’s resources and ability to provide for itself.
ACT: Support Haitian organizations that are mining in Haiti such as SIMAC.
