Well here I am again, I have been away frm blogspot for a while. My husband returned frm Haiti, Feb 19th, thanking God for a safe return.
Just trying to digest all the info he had to share. Not sure what to make of a lot of it.
I have been going to Haiti for many years and know how slow things move. Even simple jobs can take forever. I remember a few yrs ago, trying to purchase PVC pipe. We had dug a well and needed to put down the pump. Since my husband is a capable plumber, paying the pipe should have been relatively simple. Well, it took hours in the store and still had to come back next day to pick it up. So I have no expectations of a swift recovery frm the earthquake. However, there seems to b little to no help for the majority of the people. In a couple of weeks the rainy season starts, and it will b hurricane season in a few months. We need to pray for God's mercy, since there does not seem to b much help frm the governments.
The news tells us there is food and supplies being given out, must be in the downtown tent city by the capital. My husband was in several areas of Haiti during his visit. He saw only one distribution center set up. It was on the outskirts of PAP, past Carrefour. The line was over a mile long, people waiting for anything that would help them survive.
Leogane is virtually destroyed, the St Croix hospital is still standing, little else. No recovery teams, no food centers, Dr Without Borders have been there and gone.
From Leogane up into the mountains thru Darbonne to Laccolline destruction of most everything. No recovery teams, no food distribution, no aide workers, no medical teams.
Jacmel is at the end of the island on the coast. The devastation was not as bad, but many bldg are destroyed. However, there is some good news, the Canadian gov has set up a tent city. Good sturdy tents, orderly and a safe enviroment. At least as safe as u can expect. The Jacmel area is recieving help, from the Canadian gov. Giving credit where it is due, job well done.
No matter what Jesus Way Missions are able to do, it will be like trying to drain the ocean by dipping the water out with a spoon. I know it seems impossible, but I know God will provide and bring the Haitian people out of this destruction.
Jesus Way will have a ministry team going back into Haiti before the end of March. They will be doing a medical mission in Laccolline and purchasing more food for the children of Hope Orphanage. We will continue to dip water with a spoon, till the work is complete.
With God all things are possible.
I want to thank the hundreds of people who are supporting the missionary effort with prayers and donations.
God Bless
