Twitter Prayer Warriors for Haiti

This was birthed out of feelings of helplessness and frustration.

This isn't all slick and saucy looking and probably won't impress you. But that's not what this is about.

This is about prayer. And the message of helping people.

The FAA will not allow anymore flights into Haiti.
American Airlines arrived with 30,000 pounds of food and water. Others are there, too.

An update from one of our new Twitter Prayer Warrior friends:
@MexCAN RT @UN : WFP: Haiti: Ready-To-Eat Food Reaches Hungry, More Needed #UN #news #Haiti

A little food and water is starting to trickle in, but the roads are buckled. Debris and death is everywhere.

It will be hours before these poor people see any relief.

They have:
Barely any food
Barely any water
No shelter
No electricity
No medical supplies.

All that we can do is pray.

Because we can't get to Haiti to help anyone there. If you've sent money to Haiti, you have no idea when it will get to the right places to help them.

But God hears us right now, so let's pray.

Inspire all of your friends at Twitter to pray.

Because here's why this is important... This is what lead me understand the POWER of PRAYER:

A missionary friend of mine, Brother Jon, serves poor people worldwide as one of Mother Teresa's missionaries in the Missionaries of Charity. He told me that on one of her last trips to the United States she visited her mission locations in Los Angeles, where he had an opportunity to meet her.

While talking to her he mentioned that he was sorry that her health had been failing and was completely surprised by her response.

"... It's wonderful! Everyone is praying!", she said.

Clearly, this was a woman who understood the power of prayer.

Prayer changes things.
