That decision put the couple in Fresno as the devastating earthquake shook Port Au Prince. Peterson George has been so far unable to contact his family members there and the couple doesn't know if their apartment is still standing. "We don't even have a fire department right now. I don't know ... We really need God to do a miracle. Haiti really needs a help right now," said Peterson Georges.
While the couple is glad they were able to escape danger, they are now anxious to get back to Haiti to help. Despite the devastation, their faith leaves them hopeful for the future. "My experience in Haiti has been that in any type of disaster, in any type of big event that happens, there's always a miraculous thing that happens out of it. That's been my prayers ... that something good will come out of it," said Sarah Georges.
The couple has been able to get in touch with some people outside of Port Au Prince through internet based phones and Facebook. They hope to return to Haiti in six weeks after baby Taberah gets her passport.
