Dear Friends & Family,It rained last night...
In the wee hours of the morning, while everyone was sound asleep, the rain came. It wasn't hard and only lasted about an hour. But thousands of people are still sleeping in "tents" made of sticks and bed sheets. The water flowed down the steets soaking people from underneath as well as from above. I awoke to the sound of the rain, cried and prayed for the people. Continue to pray that some decent camps can be set up for the thousands of displaced, homeless people.
We have had several blessings this week.
1. Pastor Eric Scott's work team did a great job on Pastor Jeanty's house. Roger is delivering the tin & wood for the roof today. They will be in their home by next week. That makes 1 house, now on to number 2.
2. We received a dump truck full of food supplies to distribute to those in need. There was rice, beans, dry soup mix, canned meat, protien bars, oil, tents and sleeping bags. We will distribute it in our neighborhood and through our 8 churches. It will provide about 40,000 meals in all. We hope to be receiving more soon.
3. As I am writing this update...we just got our city power restored!!!!! Yeah!!! We have been without city power since Jan 12. We have been able to find fuel to run the generator and for that we are thankful. But city power is better. It is also a sign of progress and restoration in the city. Praise God for POWER!!!
Tomorrow marks the one month anniversary of the earthquake. The President of Haiti, Rene Preval, has called for a day of mourning for those lost. He has asked us to fast and pray for Haiti. Many churches across Haiti are extending this for 3 days to include the entire weekend. Won't you consider joining us in fasting and prayer for restoration and revival in Haiti?
We are thankful for those who have given and continue to give of their prayers, time and finances. Haiti is on a long road to recovery and we need you to stand with us in it.
Serving in His strength,
Roger & Margaret
