Please be in prayer for the people of Haiti who are experiencing a drastic rise in gang violence following the death of an influential gang leader’s son. The gang leader was told by a local voodoo priest that elderly people in the area were practicing witchcraft and had cursed his son. This leader ordered the massacre of those suspected of being involved, and over the weekend, 184 people were killed. Many were over the age of 60, but some younger people were killed as well. The international airport in Port-au-Prince remains closed and all U.S. airlines have stopped service to the country. The U.S. embassy has been evacuated as have diplomats from other countries and U.S. citizens, as well. The only way out of the country is from a smaller airport or by helicopter, both of which are seeing exorbitant prices and severely limited service. Over 700,000 people have been displaced, and more than 5,000 have died this year in ongoing gang occupation. Thank you for praying for the people of Haiti.
