VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 1/12/11)-One year ago today a devastating 7.1 
magnitude earthquake struck southern Haiti about 16 miles west of the 
nation's capitol Port-au-Prince. In less than 60 seconds, major 
portions of the area were left in shambles and lives were changed 
forever. Massive casualties resulted. More than 1 million people 
became homeless, 4,000 schools were destroyed and then months later, 
thousands were struck by a cholera epidemic. American Baptists were 
deeply affected by the suffering of brothers and sisters in Christ 
and they responded with an extraordinary level of giving. As of 
December 31, 2010, $2.8 million was given for Haiti relief through 
One Great Hour of Sharing.
