That's the terrifying reality that my friend Roger Carole faced on January 12, 2010, when a massive earthquake devastated Haiti. Join me, Dan the Road Trip Guy, as Roger paints a vivid picture of that fateful day from his perspective inside a theology school in Port-au-Prince. His story brings to life the immediate aftermath—the haunting silence, cries of anguish, and the struggle for survival in a city turned to rubble. Yet, in the shadow of despair, the light of hope and resilience shines through. Pastor Derson Louis offers a profound narrative of life's unexpected turns post-quake. We navigate his journey through fear and uncertainty, highlighting his unwavering faith and educational triumphs, despite the challenges posed by the earthquake and, later, the COVID-19 pandemic and gang violence. Derson's experiences speak volumes about the enduring strength and spirit of the Haitian people, demonstrating how even in the darkest times, resilience can lead to a brighter future. Finally, I talk with my wife Linda. It had been a while since we discussed the earthquake in detail, and the conversation brought back some emotions for her. She arrived in Haiti on the day of the earthquake and stayed in the country for three weeks. The initial chaos was somewhat expected, but the real challenge after 3 weeks was finding a way back home. She shared the story of how, by God's grace, a pilot and a plane were sent to bring her back home. She then shared about the person who instilled in her a serving heart, which came as no surprise to me. You can learn more about the work in Haiti by visiting, http://jihm.org…
