On Tuesday, January 12, the worst earthquake in 200 years toppled much of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti and surrounding communities.

The 7.0 quake killed hundreds of thousands of people and brought the world scrambling to help the already impoverished island nation. CBN's Operation Blessing International is on the ground bringing much needed medical help and supplies.

CBN News crews were also there telling the stories of the people of Haiti and how God is working despite the disaster. Click here to watch a half-hour special CBN News program on what we saw and how hope is rising from rubble.
