I was blessed to get an unexpected phone call from Haiti this morning. Our group is in Port au Prince today and were able to check the children's home run by a friend (who was out of the country at the time of the earthquake and trying to return). Sadly, we had gotten word earlier in the week that one of the children had been killed when an outer wall fell, but the rest of the children are well. Most of the outer walls are down, but their home appears to have no structural damage. The kids are managing very well and and will have part of our group staying with them for the next few days. They have the food they need and are boiling water from their well. Thankful to hear the children are doing well and have a safe place to sleep at night!
Most of the group was going out into the city after we spoke to be of help where ever they are needed. There is a water and fuel shortage now, so travel is limited and difficult. I'm praying that God directs them to where they are needed most and that they will take his light and hope with them as they go. With each moment, we continue to pray for those who are trapped, that they will be found, and that those who are hurt will receive comfort. Lord, make yourself known in a mighty way.
