Haiti Updates

We have been looking so forward to traveling to Jeremie, taking the folks up in the interior 500 tents, tarps, and earthquake emergency supplies.

With much sadness, Sherry and I have decided to cancel our trip until the danger dies down.

More kidnappings are happening every day. I know some people who never leave their house. They are afraid to go out anywhere. All the fuel trucks are being blocked by the gangs leaving the port. No one has fuel…

We must take our tents and supplies to Jeremie by boat. The usual cost would be $5,000 – $7,000.

Now, the lowest cost is $20,000 because of no fuel, and the black-market fuel cost a fortune!

Gangs are now at the port of Jeremie. We have been feeling from the Holy Spirit to wait and then go when it is safe.

I feel so sorry for the people needing the tents, tarps, and the other brand-new emergency supplies we have for them.

I know Mayor Yvrose is disappointed and sad for her people.

I’m thankful Sherry and I were able to go last month to Jeremie and give them tons and tons of food through the Mayor.

We are thankful that in the Department de Nippes we were able to give them 1,500 tents and tons and tons of food.

We love you and thank all of you who have been helping.

Thank you for your prayers and financial support. They are needed more than ever.
