Staff & Students -
By now you have probably heard about the massive 7.0 earthquake that has struck Haiti. If not, you can certainly check any news website or Google it to see pictures and learn more info about the destruction and loss of life that has taken place.
As a College, there are some ties to Haiti right now. Two of our current students, Tyrell Getz & Ben Wingert, along with 2 of their other friends are currently there on a mission trip. They are safe and were about 90 miles away from the epicenter. Their parents have heard from them via text messaging and with the loss of power, they are unaware of how much destruction has taken place. They are not sure when they will be able to get off the island yet either. So pray for them for opportunities to continue to share the love of God in all they do - no matter what they are doing.
Are there other current students or alumni that are in Haiti right now that you are aware of? If so, please let us know.
We will be looking to coordinate some relief effort - whether by an offering or some other collection of supplies - in the next few days. As we begin the Spring Semester next week, more information will be communicated.
Mostly - pray. God is in control even when the world looks out of control.
For Student Services,
Bob
