Haiti

By now you have probably heard that Haiti has had a severe earthquke.  Devestating.  Surreal.  A place that was already so impoverished.  I decided just in case it helped spread info in anyway to post a letter from a neighbor on the ground there and link to their organization and several others that have money going straight to haiti.  These are organizations I trust 100%.

First the letter… written by Mark Stuart (formerlly of the band Audio Adrenaline) He and his wife Aegis now have an organization with an orphanage in Haiti.  All in the orphanage were spared, but their is unexplainable massive destruction all around them.  At one point Aegis wrote on her facebook that she looked behind the orphanage and the mountain was literally splitting open.

Hi everyone….
Our internet is working finally.  So I’m sending this to a few of you….
Everyone here is ok, but we are all very scared.  The buildings held up great, but there are several houses right around us that have collapsed.  Also, Hotel Cyvadier had major damage, while the brand new three story “peace of mind” hotel was demolished.  Francine, one of our teenage nannies was in afternoon school and escaped while the building was collapsing around her because she was sitting by the door…however many of her classmates died yesterday.  Many houses and and buildings have collapsed in Jacmel including the hospital.  I know most of the news there is coming from PAP, but there is substantial loss of life here on the south coast.  We need prayer for wisdom and strength.  Its very chaotic here.  We were able to buy diesel this morning and hopefully get more propane for cooking tomorrow.  Last night was crazy…slept on the dirt in the center of the village…away from the buildings.  Tonight we may venture back indoors, but that is yet to be decided.  We go in and out to get necessities.  The Haitian people are numb and sad to say very used to death, but this has created what seems to be a hypnotic state.  I’ve never been in a situation were you feel SO helpless, fearful, and small.  The tremors are coming again as i type this. Whoa!!!

Here are some very important links of Christian organizations to pray for and donate to.

Hands and Feet Project- This is the project Mark and Aegis work with.  It is an orphanage.  He is also posting updates.

Conduit Mission- 100% of money being wired straight to Haiti.  The guy the runs this is Darren, he’s a great guy and hiw word is golden.

Convoy of Hope- This is an organization run by the Assemblies of God in Springfield, MO.  They are getting ready to send volunteers over.  One of my friends, Chris Dudly, is waiting to hear if he will be going. Please keep him in your prayers. Will update if he is sent.

Care International- This is an incredible organization that I have already blogged about in the past.  They have people in the Dominican Republic right now that are going to provide relief.
Don’t understimate the power of prayer.  Our people over there need prayer for strength and guidance probably more than ever before.
