Carrying the Peace of Christ to Ravaged Haiti
In Haiti, buildings are reduced to rubble after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck Saturday, August 14. A small team of
Billy Graham Rapid Response Team (BG-RRT) chaplains are ministering
alongside Samaritan’s Purse at an emergency field hospital in Les Cayes.
The death toll has risen to over 2,200 and an estimated 12,000 people are injured. Hundreds more are missing. In a recent interview, Franklin Graham shared, “The world in which we live is falling apart.”

“At the request of Haiti’s Ministry of Health, we have deployed a Tier 1 surgical field hospital to treat earthquake victims,” Franklin Graham said. This emergency field hospital set up by Samaritan’s Purse is treating victims injured in the quake.
In many ways, the Caribbean country has not fully recovered from the 2010 earthquake and 2016 hurricane. After the 2010 earthquake, more than 120 chaplains served for a total of 22 months, praying with more than 35,000 Haitians.
Lingering effects from the earthquake will affect residents for years, from the very young to older generations.
The chaplains currently ministering in Haiti are specifically trained to respond to disaster situations.
Almost 53,000 houses were destroyed by this most recent earthquake.
"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." —Galatians 6:2
Chaplains listen to instructions outside the field hospital. Amid the loss experienced by the Haitian people, BGEA chaplains carry
the peace of Jesus Christ.
Join Franklin Graham in prayer for the people of Haiti. “Father, we pray for the people of Afghanistan and the people of Haiti. And Father, we pray that wherever we go that we will be the hands and feet of Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. And Father, we pray in His Name. Amen.”
