Into the Fire: Death & Resurrection
3/29/2010
In time for Easter, United Methodist News Service offers a compelling, behind-the-scenes narrative of the courage and sacrifice shown by United Methodist mission workers trapped in the rubble of the Haiti earthquake. For more than two days after the Haiti earthquake, United Methodist mission workers lay buried underneath the rubble of the Hotel Montana. On the third day, they were found.
In a three-part narrativebeginning March 30 (Into the Fire: Death and Resurrection in Haiti), UMNS tells the dramatic stories of those mission workers and others from the moment the earthquake struck until today. The faith amid suffering even to the point of death, and the commitment of survivors to the resurrection of Haiti, brings the Easter story into The United Methodist Church in a new and compelling way.
