Dear Friends in Christ,
We talked with Micah this morning. He was excited and upset, which has been a first since he has been in Haiti that we have known about. He said to please pray for the team, especially for John as he is working so diligently to try to get as many of the children out of Haiti as possible.
Yesterday the team found an orphanage in downtown PAP which has received no help, no supplies, medical food or water. About 56 children died in the 7.0 earthquake and there are 76 children alive there. The team brought them diapers and formula for the children. They have begun gathering supplies and taking them to the orphanage. They are trying to get word out about the tremendous needs in this orphanage. Micah says that the media stays pretty close to the airport because of military security and there are so many needs outside which are not being met. There are tons of supplies, medical, food, etc. at the airport, but they only allow approved organizations or themselves to dispense the materials. They are too busy apparently to go away from the airport to check out this giant need. It is so sad when the government is handling things, because where the needs truly are, supplies are not getting out. Please pray for the team, for this orphanage and the ever present lack of organization in Haiti.
If anyone would like to donate, the greatest need is funds to purchase food, water and supplies. Please send your donations to:
