Haitians from across the upstate came together for a special prayer service at the First Haitian Mauldin Evangelican Wesleyan Church on Sunday morning.
they gathered at the Mauldin church and prayed for loved ones and fellow Haitians who have lost their lives in last weeks devastating earthquake, while also praying for those who are still missing and in need. News Channel 7 was told that nearly every person who was in attendance lost a loved one or still had family members they have not heard from since last Tuesday.
"We have to give them encouragement in the word of God," said Pastor Patrick Gue. 'We know that God is there in Haiti and here and he is very compassionate. He loves us, even if we have earthquake in Haiti."
Sunday's service was comforting for many, who had no where else to turn in what has become one of the most deadly natural disaster's in history.
"This is a place you can come and praise God and be united in faith," said Sammuel Jean, a member of the church. "With the people that are suffering that are going through the same suffering with you."
