Gary S. Chapman, A Humanitarian Photographer for NGO's and Non-profits
Worshipers gather daily outside the shell of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption to fast and pray. The cathedral, built in the 1800′s, was destroyed by the January 12th quake that also killed the Archbishop.

This is an awesome picture.Truly shows the heart of the hurting crying out to God.As in Chron2 7:14.
Thanks Michelle. One of the great things about the Haitian culture is that they don’t hide their true feelings. Everywhere we went you could easily see hurt, anger and even hope on their faces. Great people!
Nice shot!
Thanks Jason…you have an interesting blog!
Gary, thanks for sharing this image. I will also be traveling to Haiti later this month to do photography work. I hope I will be able to serve the people of Haiti as well as you do for so many around the world.
Many thanks for the kind words. May God help you to see with His eyes as you go to Haiti! Blessings!
Read your Scott Kelby Wednesday Guest blog post and was very encouraged by how you turned the downturn at the newspaper into something very positive and beautiful. Thanks for staying true to yourself and finding such a wonderful path… also I loved your parting words . . . “Be blessed and be a blessing!” it is so easy to forget that this is ultimately the reason for our blessings… 1Corinthians 1:3-7…
I will definitely add you to my favorite blogs list…
Thanks
Rick
Rickey,
Many thanks for reading and for the words of encouragement. I always tell my kids, “Be blessed and be a blessing” as they leave the house.
