A Haitian gives us updates:

I've been so burdened for the people of Haiti. I can't imagine the devastation and chaos there. The orphans who now may have no one to watch over them. The babies and kids with nobody to turn to and nowhere to go. The adults who have no way to provide or protect themselves and their families. The innocent who are vulnerable to looters and violence. The people who have no way to get food or clean drinking water in to their land. Please pray for them. Here is a note from my friend, Emmanuel, who lives in Haiti. He became one of my dear friends when I lived in the Dominican Republic.


"Every 30 minutes to an hour the house rumbled and shook from the after shocks of the earthquake that has divested the capital, Port-au-Prince. It was hard to sleep wondering if you should run, wait or ignore it. All I could think about was the thousands that had no where to sleep in Port-au-Prince 60 miles from our city, St. Marc. We were up early to see the video footage and pictures of the Presidential Palace destroyed and so many other buildings we once knew. We feel in some ways as helpless as the victims in Port-au-Prince in the since of shock and not knowing what to do or where to start. Communications are still down, airport is closed for today so we have decided to send in a observation team to see what connections they could make. Haiti has no infrastructure much less a crisis management team. I suspect that PAP is crying even louder this morning as the reality of their situation tumbles on them.
We are thinking through how this impact will affect St. Marc and the population here. Fuel, electric communications, food and construction supplies all route through PAP. Today we are ok, but what about in a few days or week. Where are the refugees going to be going since there is little living space in PAP? Pray for us and our observation team!"
