Dear Friends,
It is about 1:30 am and I am still up. I had a chance to go the mountains above Port-au-Prince for a night. I need to continue to communicate with my family and friends back in Canada and the US. Please take a few minutes to read this…
I sat with the pastor of the international Church today (the only one/main on in PAP) and he explained an incredible happening... He was outside with some kids at the basketball court on the church campus when the earthquake hit
He heard the sound first and then saw the ground rippling like waves on the ocean. He and the boys went into the middle of the field to wait out the earthquake.
After about 45 seconds the earthquake stopped, so he went throughout the campus to see if there was anyone injured, and then checked on his family etc... The church was untouched, as was the office/library. After some time he went into the library to see how many books had fallen off the shelves... many things had fallen on other areas etc...
He noticed that there had been only one book fall out of hundreds.
A single Bible One of the only ones in the library
The pastor stopped and looked at it in disbelief... Why would a Bible be the only book that fell... What were the chances?
There were hundreds of books and a Bible fell?
The thing is... that it fell face down, and open... so the pastor decided to carefully pick it up off the floor... placing his hand under the Bible to save the place where it had opened.
He opened it to Jeremiah 19 and read verses 3 and 4
Read it
I am still internalizing this information.
