It’s been a while since we’ve had news from Haiti. They are soooo very busy doing all the things that need to be done now . Our missionaries were busy before but now they have additional responsibilities and communication from the north is still a problem.
It is encouraging to read of what has happened down there. Mind you I can just tell you about Cap area and the north today but hope to have an update on Port later in the week. For now, I can tell you the people in Port are having church services in the open air and under tarps. ‘Houses’ are shelter under sheets. They keep the sun out but aren’t very good in the rains. Port has received some rain but Cap is getting much more.
Mardi Gras was cancelled. Instead of the typical revilty and voodoo, there was a march from the airport in Cap to the Vautien freedom monument. Aprox 3000 Christians were singing and praising GOD, celebrating freedom from Satan’s rule. The Americans saw no Mardi Gras attire, no signs of voodoo, and none of the routine celebration in the Cap Hatien area.
They know there will be hard times as Haiti recovers if she ever can. There has been and always is  in catastropic events like tyhis, some looting. Thievery is common in Haiti on any day. The people are needy and hungry and steal to survive.
There is a rumor that President Preval has accepted the Lord as his Savior. We don’t know if it is true or not but if not pray it happens. If so, pray that he changes radically and the people see it and want what he has.
It is encouraging to learn that even when Satan does these awful things in his domain, we can see GOD using it for good. Keep praying for Haiti. Pray our missionaries and their support systems have deeper sleep and much needed rest, encouragment in the midst of sorrow for they too have lost many friends . Pray living ‘missing’ people are reunited with their families and the unaccounted for are laid to rest. Pray for provision for the displaced refugees. Pray for the volunteers going into the country.
Pray for Carolyn and I as we make final preparations to leave in a little over a week. If any of you have things ready for us to take in, we need everything Today if possible! There’s lots of packing to do. Thank you all for whatever you have done to help Haiti Sue
