    This is a marvelous active worship, to pray, all 80 million of us, and support in anyway possible the people in these areas of the world as they attempt to recover from these horrific tragedies. Thanks to all of you who have called us to prayer and who have promptly communicated this need to pray for our brothers and sisters around the world who are suffering today from these earthquakes.
