Haiti (French: Haïti; Haitian Creole: Ayiti), officially the Republic of Haiti (French: République d'Haïti; Haitian Creole: Repiblik d Ayiti) is a country on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola; the other country on the island is the Dominican Republic. It has a tropical climate, and is called in French "La Perle des Antilles" (The pearl of the Antilles), because of its natural beauty. It is very mountainous, but is no longer covered with forests, as it once was. It is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. There are two official languages, French and Haitian creole, or "Kreyol". There are many holidays; the largest and most important is the Mardi Gras.

Heavenly Father, I pray for the victims of this disaster, that you would comfort the lives that were spared Lord, and that you would take care of those who perished. Lord, please bless those who are doing everything they can to help these people and also make sure that things run smoothly in repairing this great community/State/Nation.

Please help the victims to have patience and also help family members to be reunited. Lord, I pray that you will ensure that the victims do not come under any illnesses from this disaster, and I also pray that they get enough food and clean water and proper shelter for everyone. Lord, please touch the hearts of the world to continue to pray for these people and also to contribute their ❤ to help rebuild this wonderful Country. Lord , only you can make miracles happen and I am asking for one now. In your precious name, Lord Jesus I pray.

Amen.
