Subject: Update from Haiti
Mary Jane (Director's wife and founder) was able to get through to her mother during the night. Here is the situation.
1. Andris’ family is ok – but the they have not been able to reach one of his sisters (Andris is the director and is Haitian. He has family in different parts of the country)
2. We have lost a couple students, but too early to determine exactly how many (LHM has a primary school with 270 students and a trade school)
3. One young man from the village has lost his whole family of 10 people
4. The well is working so they are boiling their water (A hand-pump well)
5. They have supplies and food for now
6. They will be able to cash checks next week
7. They have been advised not to go into the buildings until 3 days after the shaking stops – they are still having aftershocks
8. They expect that they have damage inside the buildings
9. They have all been sleeping outside
10. They are very low on fuel so not running the generator
11. There are a lot of people and families staying on the LHM grounds ( I imagine quite a few of the church members)
Two great verses to ponder – Philippians 4:6-7. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
