At 4:53 p.m.—the moment when a magnitude 7.0 earthquake turned Haiti
upside down a week ago Tuesday—hundreds of Christians spent a minute
praying for survivors, churches and relief teams on the ground in
Port-au-Prince.
Ministries are also responding to the diaster, providing relief and/or medical
assistance to the small nation. To make a financial contribution to quake victims, scroll down to the
