GREAT news from Haiti!!!!

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

AWESOME report we received just last night, the President of Haiti has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and public telling he is a Christian even on the radio station. Also a church we have worked at in a Port Au Prince suburb had around 2,000 people there last Sunday. Before the earthquake had been averaging 150. God is on the move and it is exciting watching Him move and humbling to be a vessel He wants to use.

It has been a month now since the devastating earthquake and we continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ there plus those that are lost without Christ.
The earthquake did not cause any physical damage to the area we lived and continue to work in but Port au Prince is their lifeline for food and supplies. Trucks and buses traveled that way once or twice a week and since January 12 there has not been any. The main bank in the country has been destroyed and the few grocery stores also.

We received an SOS call from Jespert saying "if we don't receive some help to get food we will not survive". That was a difficult day with many tears and feeling helpless. But God answered their prayers and ours and made a way for us to get money to them to purchase food. January and now February we sent the regular support for the sewing class (which started back up just last week) plus extra dollars for food. Thank you to those that helped with that emergency. We have been able to send $1300 so far. We will continue to do that each month.

Also a group out of Florida, Heart of the Bride, which we have worked with for several years and they also minister in the NW in the same village where we minister, they too have been an answer to prayer. They left on Friday with a chartered plane with 13,000 pounds of food and clothing to help those in the NW but also the thousands of refugees that have fled from Port AU Prince to there. We will keep in contact with them and if they do that again see how we can help.

We will continue to send money to help where we know it will be put to good use and will wait on the report from Heart of the Bride after they return from that area to asses and hear from God what to do next. We will continue to trust God to make a way to finish the sewing classes and make a way for us to go sometime this year to present sewing machines to all the girls. But we also realize that their priority is survival and our priority is obedience to God's leading.
