Immediately following the disastrous 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, the Port-au-Prince Church of Christ and HOPE Haiti began to serve those around them. Even while church members were looking for their own families and other members, 50 people from the community were welcomed to stay on the church property with about 60 disciples of the 300 member church.

Within days, the first HOPE worldwide response team was on the scene with food, water, medicine, hugs and prayers. ICOC Hot News released this touching video of that first visit. Last week three souls were baptized there!

HOPE worldwide's first releif team arrived in Port-au-Prince only five days after the devastating earthquake that resulted in 200,000 deaths and 2 million homeless.
