At the moment Gustav is pounding the South Western coast of the DR in the area of Barahona. This is perhaps the poorest area of the DR and also is where we have many CRC churches. Last November this area was hit very hard by Tropical Storm Noel and is still recovering from those rains. Please pray for Brahona and our CRC brethren who are even now hunkered in their homes, praying for an end to the storm. Pray also for Haiti which seems to be in the path of Gustav. Haiti is an even poorer country than the DR and the damage done there, especially with their problems with deforestation, could be immense. The CRC church in Haiti is even larger than the CRC in the DR.
Please pray this storm turns south and that lives be spared. Pray that even in the middle of this destruction God might be glorified and His presence acknowledged.
