Praying for Haiti

The Midland Free Methodist Church has many members who are either in Haiti or have been there many times on mission or service trips over the years, so they held a special prayer service tonight to pray for the people of Haiti.

Jessica and Rob Archer had adopted two Haitian children before the earthquake and recently found out both Elmise, 7, and Armon, 5, were alive.


Cherilyn Slowey use to minister in Haiti and speaks Creole fluently. "I don't even know what language to pray in," she tried to joke. "A piece of her heart is there," her friend Leah Kessler said.


Dale Kessler knows some people that go down on missions from the church and said he had friends that are in Haiti.


Krista Strickling said she helped with fundraisers for mission trips.





Jerry and Anita Archer have been to Haiti twice to help build a church and have sponsored Hillaire, a Haitian boy, from the time he was a baby up to studying at a university in Port-au-Prince. They haven't heard from him.


Tennille Coston's husband, Nate, had been to Haiti 8 times to help with various projects. A recent building he helped build was leveled.
