Haiti Update

 We have been going in and out of Haiti since the earthquake.  When you first arrive it is almost overwhelming.  The total destruction of a city of 3 million plus people is impossible to wrap your mind around.  Then you leave the city and head on west and see even more devastation.  We have been focusing on Petit Goave, which is a small city on the south leg of the country.

Ed Lockett is a friend and missionary with Missionary Ventures, and so we have connected to help in any way we can.  This is clearly not a short term issue.  Before the earthquake there were many who needed work and food. They needed better schools and effective spiritual teaching.  Now they need those things even more plus support through the grieving process, as they work through all that has happened.  In the following days I will try to devote time to keep everyone up to date as the Lord allows.  People are still living on the streets, bathing and brushing their teeth on the sidewalks ....and the Lord is there, too.
We are home, the Dominican Republic, for a couple of weeks and then back to Haiti.  These pictures are of our last trip, and we will be leaving for Haiti the first part of July.

We unloaded some supplies in Port-au-Prince and met with the staff at Mision Rescate.  The medical clinic is still up and running and Bud was asked about some additional work on walls and shelving.
