Food for the Hungry reports on their website (Jan. 20th): "On Monday, January 18, all 26 FH-Haiti staff were confirmed alive. Twenty-one staff members met to share their stories on Monday. Many lost family members. One father lost two children, ages 18 and 3. Another lost 15 people who were living in his house. Yet another gave thanks that his four children survived after being buried in the rubble of his house. Many staff lost homes and are living on the street. Most are afraid to be indoors in case of another deadly tremor." Please continue to pray for these brothers and sisters who have endured so much.
PRAISE GOD! Ben Homan of Food for the Hungry writes (Jan. 19th), "ALL STAFF ACCOUNTED FOR. Let us give thanks to the Lord for the preservation of our staff. First off, we actually have 26 staff in Haiti. All of them are alive; only one has minor injuries to his legs. Amazing. Most of the staff have lost their homes entirely -- or in part. Most staff have lost loved ones and friends. They are grieving, even as they are serving to rescue and help others."
Scott and Kristin Heaton of Lincoln have been waiting a very long time (four years) and praying for their girls to be able to come from Haiti to Lincoln. The Nebraska Global Orphan Project reports today (Jan. 19th) that Bettania and Dieunette are coming home! Another praise! Praise God! See link to the right column.
The Global Orphan Project reports (Jan. 18th), “Last week, we asked for prayer for our field director’s son who was missing. We now know Jean-Marc (who would have turned nine on Jan. 17th) was killed when his school building collapsed in the quake…. from the rubble at Jean-Marc’s school, here are the verses Moise (Jean-Marc’s father) shared, ‘I will praise the Lord at all times; his praise is always on my lips. My whole being praises the Lord. The poor will hear and be glad. Glorify the Lord with me, and let us praise his name together. I asked the Lord for help, and he answered me. He saved me from all that I feared. Those who go to him for help are happy, and they are never disgraced. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him and saved him from all his troubles. The angel of the Lord camps around those who fear God, and he saves them’ (Psalm 34:1-7).”
Ben Homan (formerly of Lincoln) of Food for the Hungry writes (Jan. 16th), "Food for the Hungry's relief team is on the ground in Port-au-Prince responding to the devastating quake (note, however, that 12 of our 19 staff members who serve in Port-au-Prince are still missing). I would ask you to respond in prayer."
Bryan Becker writes (Jan. 15th), "Thank you for all your prayers concerning my aunt Fern. My mother received a text from her today, apparently she was about 100 mi outside of port-au-price when the quake hit, she said the orphanage she was at is leveled and they're currently staying in tents, sounds like many people in the area lost family. My mom will be talking with her on Skype tonight and ill let you know more as I do. Thank you again for your prayers."
Sharon St. Germain writes (Jan. 15th), "Thank you so much for your prayers. Just heard from Dony at 6:25pm. He's well. He was only able to talk very briefly. Situation is horrific with dead bodies on the ground and everything smells. People are sleeping on the streets. No water. No food. PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD! the pastor, the workers and the 106 orphans in Carrefour are fine. He passed also through Gonaives and the pastors and ministry there are well. THANK YOU LORD! ..... On a sad note, those of you who have been to Haiti may remember Esaie, another driver we would use with Nader. His wife died in the quake and Dony had to do the funeral yesterday. Continue to pray for his family and so many who have lost loved ones in this manner."
