Christian humanitarian agency World Vision plans to begin assessing damage and preparing a relief response today after the major earthquake that hit Haiti Tuesday. The agency
has worked in Haiti for 30 years and has some 370 staff in country.

Downed communications, blocked roads and continuing aftershocks slowed relief efforts overnight, with staff unable to leave the agency's Port-au-Prince office for several hours due to fallen debris in the roadways.

"It felt as if a truck had hit a wall," said World Vision staffer Magalie Boyer, of the initial tremor. "There is extensive damage in the city. People are getting ready to spend the night in the streets. They are not
comfortable staying in their houses."

Casting Crowns will be touring this spring on its headlining “Until The Whole World Hears Tour”. The first half of the tour will feature special guests Kutless. The second half will feature special guests Tenth Avenue North. All shows will also feature Caleb.

"Praise You in This Storm" is on Carrie Underwood's most recent iTunes playlist that is being featured alongside her album.

She enjoys "Praise You in This Storm" because she says, "There are times in everyone's lives where things aren't so good and it becomes easier to blame our problems on others. This song reminds us to praise God even in the worst of times, and we'll get through because He is always with us."
