Haiti Update - Feb. 26th

Dear Friends and Family,

This week has brought renewed fears.  Sunday night it rained about 11PM, so many or our neighbors decided they could sleep inside.  We had not had any major aftershocks in at least 2 weeks.  Then at 4:30AM we had a 4.7 aftershock that shook the country.  Everyone who was inside ran for the doors!  There was crashing and screaming as people were very afraid.

We have had several hard aftershocks this week.  Everyone is sleeping outside again.  The news, rumors and stories on the radio are keeping everyone in fear.  Some are perhaps true and many are not true.  But people in fear will believe many things.  Please pray for God's peace to come over this nation.  He is the only One who can calm our fears.

Roger & I took 3 days 'off' and went to a beach in the south of Haiti.  It is our 'favorite getaway' that we have been to several times before.  We were not sure if we would find it standing or not, so we packed a tent just in case we had to sleep on the beach.  We were very happy when we saw that not only was the hotel standing, but it had no cracks or damage whatsoever!  We enjoyed the peace and calm of the ocean and returned well rested.

We have a team of 9 with us from Trinidad & Tobago this weekend.  They did some work around our house today and gave out 2000 meals and 30 tarps in our neighborhood. Tomorrow they will minister in a local church and set up a  prayer ministry tent in a needy area.  We are glad they are here with us.

As we heard the news of the earthquake in Chile today, our hearts were touched.  We can surely relate to their state of mind and the disaster they are experiencing.  We have prayed much for them today and ask that you also hold them in prayer.

We appreciate each of you.  Your prayers and support mean so much to us.  We would not be able to stand without your help in the area of prayer.  We are extremely blessed to have such a large group of prayer warriors standing with us.  Thank you.

Serving Him day by day,
Roger & Margaret Clark
