Hello from Jacksonville,
My cough is much better and I can talk again but not too much. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!! Time to go home.
The Americans at Christian Light Ministries in Haiti are doing a fantastic job. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!! Kathy has the staff organized feeding the teny cities in the area. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!! They choose a leader for each area and give him the food. Then they quietly go back later to see how it was distributed. If there is a problem, they choose a new leader for the next day.
On our staff.......... Chantal died, Lizette injured buy OK, Madsen has injured hand. Brucely, Delva, Jolina, Anise & lost homes, probably more I don't know about yet. Most lost at least 1 family member. Ifonise (Edmond's wife) is still due to have a baby in March. Please keep the staff in prayer.
I have heard a lot of criticism of our officiials for not getting relief to the people of Haiti quickly enough. Nothing in Haiti is ever easy to do .I do believe the officials are trying. They, too, have been overwhelmed by massive destruction, number of people in need, lack of roads, water pipes, electricity, etc. These were all problems before the earthquake and now it is much worse. Please pray for the thousands of army personel, etc. trying to help.
Several school children are staying at the orphanage because they lost their homes. I know of Christly, Alex, Stanley, and Johanne but am not sure who the others are. Anne and Ivenson (not the twin) were injured but are OK. Please keep the children and their families in prayer. We sometimes won't know where their families are if they are in tent cities.
I am very eager to get back to Haiti. That is where I belong. Please pray that I get a flight in quickly.
We are going to need help - especially medical and construction teams. The medical problems will be serious for a long time. I need a construction supervisor who can stay for at least 6 months to coordinate the teams and the Haitian workers. (One is trying to come - please keep this in prayer)
God bless you,
Sherrie
