"Cholera Public Service Announcement"

I am sure most of you have heard that cholera has taken over 200 lives in Haiti so far. There have been six confirmed cholera deaths in Petionville. One case has been reported in Carre Fou so it is definitely on its way to the Leogane area. We have a suspected case in the hospital right now. Today in church we had a public service announcement made about cholera and how it is spread and ways to prevent it. Remember, "wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands." I spoke with some of my friends in Port Au Prince and they said they had the same type of announcements in their churches too today. Please pray that everyone pays attention to the things that stop the spread of the disease. Pray that clean drinking working is available to all in Haiti. Pray for the medical communities that will be caring for the sick. Pray for the effort to get the word out about cholera and how to stop the spread of the disease. Pray that all in Haiti know that God loves them and are continuously uplifted by God's unending love. Peace, Love, and Joy. Missy
