“Our prayers go out to the people of Haiti who have recently experienced the death of President Jovenel Moïse, a tropical storm, and now a 7.2 earthquake that occurred on Saturday, August 14, 2021. May God bring comfort, healing, and hope to this shattered and grieving country,” said Dr. C. Jeff Woods, Interim General Secretary of the ABCUSA Office of the General Secretary.
