Friends who are concerned about the Haitians have been bringing money constantly. We are so grateful for the generosity that the Hernando and Homosassa United Methodist Churches have shown in their giving.
I am sending a check for $5000 today to pay for beans, rice, sugar, water, charcoal, oil. If there is money and room, some bedding will be added to this list.
The container will go to either the port in Petit Goave or to the Dominican Republic to be moved over land to Petit Goave. Much if not most of the aid going to Haiti has gone to meet the tremendous need in Port au Prince. That's not bad, but the people in the damaged outlying areas may be overlooked. Montreuil Milord will go to Petit Goave to supervise giving the food to the needy in Petit Goave and Carrenage.
What can you do?
- Pray that the merchants will give us the best possible prices for the goods we need.
- Pray that Montreuil can time his arrival well to meet the ship or plane.
- Pray that the unloading will go smoothly so that our cargo will not be like others, sitting somewhere rotting while hungry people wait.
- Pray for Montreuil as he organizes the workers to give out the food.
- Thank God for each generous heart that has given so generously.
Patience: Thank you! Thank you! For everything you are doing to help these poor people. We will continue to pray for all.
