Haiti Survival

Good Morning,

Around my house this morning the ground, trees and just abt everything is covered in snow. Very quiet and peaceful.

However, this morning Bro Chuck (still in Haiti) woke to the sounds of Haiti. Every morning it is the same. As soon as the sun even thinks abt coming up, somewhere around 4:00-5:00 am. Haiti begins to wake up, first it is the roosters that are roaming around, then you can hear the horns from the tap-tap (taxi) and soon u hear the voices and the sound of people hurriedly walking up and down the streets. Some are going to work, or to the market to try to sell just enough to buy food for one day. Now it is probably only one meal, considering that food prices have skyrocketed.

So many people ask me, with all the food and supplies that have been shipped to Haiti, why does anyone have to buy food. As I try to explain, many, many Haitian have not seen any help frm the relief effort, they look at me as though what I am saying can not be true. Before the earthquake, the Haitian people struggled and worked everyday just to survive. The struggle has now intensified for them.

When I talk abt the Haitian people, they may seem like an anonymous group somewhere far removed from your life. Let me put a face on it for you.

There is a beautiful young lady in Haiti, her name is Bebe. She is a beautiful person inside and out. When we are in Haiti it seems she is always at the mission house, I thought she lived there. She is there to help the missionaries in any way that she can, interpeting, carry bags and in the dental clinics. She is a devout christian and is involved in the church she attends. Well, today she is living in the streets, her family has lost everything. Is she bitter or disappointed in God? NO, when she has conversations with friends here in the states, she is grateful for her blessings. Blessings? Yes blessings, she talks abt how the church members are trying to stay together, and especially thankful for Food that Bro. Chuck bought for her family and the others.

Giving God Praise in the mist of all the disaster and devastation. People like Bebe can not look to the gov, or some World Charity Org to bring help. Their trust is in God only, that he will send someone directly to them to bring food.

Bro. Chuck has bought food to feed 200+ families, including Bebe's, but it will not last forever. More food will need to be bought, Bebe needs ur help.
