The bridge is still cut off from coming or going. It’s impossible to receive any backup from the police because of the bridge situation. Yet, there is another way coming from the back side of the mountain, but it is a long, hard trip.

Fond Parisien is calm today. Many people have left, fleeing into the mountains. The poor people are scared to death. The Haitian government should be ashamed of the way they let the gangs destroy their beautiful country and people. This has gone on for 4 years out here and among many other places in Haiti. Eighty percent of Port-au-Prince is under the control of the gangs.

The Kenyan mission is a failed mission. It was never planned right from the beginning.

The US Embassy here has been doing a great job for all they have been through. Now Haiti has a new Prime Minister. Will he do the right thing? The Prime Minister’s hands are tied by the State Department. I don’t know for sure, “but I can see through the dust.”

Will Haiti make good decisions for the best of the people of Haiti? Keep praying for the Prime Minister and all those in authority, and keep praying for the Haitian people who are very special and gifted. They have been so abused and downcast. Enough is enough! We’re claiming Haiti for Christ!

Pastor Claude’s kids are back.

We felt like we had to return and pick up Pastor Claude’s Orphanage children because of the great danger from the 400 Mawozo gang! Pastor Claude’s Orphanage is very close to the gangs. It is about 10 or 15 minutes from Love A Child. We have no more room in our orphanage, so we put them in our school with plenty of sleeping bags and the bathroom next door. We are cooking them good, hot meals. I feel so sorry for them. Pastor Claude is not here yet. He cannot travel here due to the gangs and the bridge is shut down.

Please pray for all the orphans. Thank you for your prayers and support. You will never know how much you are needed now.

Love you…

I did not believe the gangs would come last night, which they did not. Miracle Village is almost completely empty.

Much of Fond Parisien has fled to the mountains. Many have fled to the border, which will not let anyone cross without a passport and visa, even if they are Haitian. Everyone is very afraid. Fond Parisien has a population of 150,000 people. The La Source community joins it with even more people.

If we do not start having backup from the government of Haiti today, I must say what I believe about the corruption in the government here. The bridge at Ganthier has only steel bars welding across it, I found out. The government could come to break the steel across the bridge and put it back up to save the Haitian people out here, including us.

The Kenyans are a big scam. When they came out last week to help fight, they parked their armored vehicles at our market… The population got mad and kept telling them to help fight in Ganthier! They went but did not fire one bullet!

They had orders not to fire. The Kenyans are useless here. It’s just a big money grab!! Only 400 Kenyans are here. The 1,000 never came yet. I hear they want $600 million!! We are praying for backup today. It doesn’t look good so far.

The 400 Mawozo gang is trying to scare the community and Love A Child. I can tell you one thing: we are not afraid. You better be afraid of Fond Parisien and Love A Child. You are about to face hell head-on.

How could you even think to come here and scare our orphans and do bad things to them?

We have a great security force we hired from outside the country. We are secure and are well prepared to defend Fond Parisien, the market, Farmer John’s, along with some tough people here. The police are great… Only a handful. We are not going to just let the 400 Mawozo gang come in here and take over our town and Love A Child and scare and rape our children! They will have many surprises before they get even close. These ex-Marines and others are ready!!

And we have God and all His angels on our side! Your prayers have worked. Keep praying. If we have ever needed your prayers, it is now.

We love you. Please keep praying.
