Many people have been asking us when we will start having teams come back to Haiti. We will not be starting up teams again until “the Level 4 warning” has been lifted. A Level 4 warning is the highest, “most dangerous warning” a country can have. Haiti’s Level 4 warning is due to COVID-19, an increase in gang activity, shootings, kidnappings, robberies, and murders.
This breaks our hearts. The normal everyday Haitian whom we work with is nothing like this. Gang activity is taking over Haiti. The poor and especially the children, suffer unbearably here. The conditions have gone down to “deplorable.” Every day when Sherry and I leave out through our gate to distribute food or work on a project, we don’t know if we will come back alive, get kidnapped, or robbed. “We really live on the edge here.” This is from my heart.
On a positive note, we are feeding more new areas than we had ever before. We are always expanding here…building the new Jesus Healing Center. We just finished the new Malnutrition Center and a lot more… “we are here for the long haul.”
Satan is trying to destroy Haiti. The devil is doing “his thing,” but God is doing “a bigger thing!” Thank you for your prayers. Your support is needed more than ever.
We are claiming Haiti for Christ!
P.S. WE LOVE living here with our Haitian children. They are the future of Haiti. They bring “great joy” in the midst of “great stress!”
