We want to thank you, our prayer supporters, who have
stood with us in prayer during these difficult times in Haiti. We thank the
Lord that for the past 2 weeks that the country has returned back to normal in
many ways. The major protesting has ended for now, but the long-term impact it
has made on the nation is great. Many businesses and missionaries (NGO groups)
have left for good and others are contemplating when they will return. Most
mission groups have cancelled for the year.
The political instability has worsened the economical and
social problems in Haiti. One of the things that it has affected is the amount
electricity (city power) that you receive. There has been a shortage of
electricity these past few months, and it has only become worse.
In the past 48
hours we have received 20 minutes of power from the electrical company without
much hope that things will get much better. Our generator and inverter
backup system can not keep up with the energy that is needed to run our house
and Bible College.
We are needing to
go to solar panels which we have resisted doing in the past due to its initial
cost. Therefore, we are asking funds to buy 8 - 315w solar panels to put on the
roof of our building. The cost of purchasing and install the solar panels will
be $3800.
Please consider helping us meet this urgent need.
Also, continue praying for Haiti because it may be at its
lowest point in 30 years. Yet, we are not discouraged because our Lord is able
to do above and beyond all that we could imagine or think.
God bless you,
