How you can help.

Hi,
Many are concerned, have seen the weather, have got bits and pieces and want to know how things really are in Haiti. I am not there, I am here in California but from experience and talking to Wilckly I know this article I have copied to my blog is pretty straight forward and truthful about what is happening.

Yesterday I heard the road was flooded at Cabaret which is our only way to get to PAP where we have to change money and buy food. I tried not to panic thinking they couldn't get through. Then I heard the bridge was out at Montrouis which is the only road in the other direction and possible way to get to another bank at St. Marc for money to buy food. I tried to keep telling myself that everything was okay but it sure was good to finally hear Wilckly's voice this morning as I got through to him.

He said they are safe at Cariess. He said the water went down and our head mason was able to pass at Cabaret to get to Cariess. This is a blessing but still a lot of devastation to the people of that area. We have dear friends there and we haven't heard from them yet.

Wilckly said the people are starting to come to him to ask for food, clothing and help, money and materials to help rebuild their homes and churches. The church where Lonia is from is in shambles as it is made of sticks and wood that could not withstand the pounding rains. This is only one in the story of many that will come before Wilckly in the days to come. People will come from the other churches we help, families will come. All of them are counting on us, Dee and Wilckly as you know us but Pasteur Kiki and Mdme Kiki as the Haitians know us. They are not counting on the UN, the Haitian gov't, or any other organization because it is Pasteur Kiki and Mdme Kiki they know and count on to help them in their time of need. We in turn are counting on you. We know without you giving to help with this situation it will be very difficult to carry this burden. We know that with the Lord's help, through you, we will manage to continue helping them. Wilckly, Christine Stevens, Marc, Bioude they are all there to help those people. I am busy about what God has me doing here with Lonia but my heart is there. I know people will show up daily and unannounced and they will be given food, clothing and a place to sleep and money or food or clothing to take back home.

If you feel you can help us carry this burden as Haiti has been hit hard with four storms in four weeks, please do. God only knows we can use your help.

The best way to help right now is to send money donations to Fred Green.

Fred will send this all immediately to Wilckly in Haiti where he can buy food, building materials, possibly even send masons to help with some of the rebuilding. The church at Cupois is also used for school. There were 30 students last year. They are anxious to start school this year and they have already come to Wilckly with the news of the devastation. This is again, where Lonia is from.

We appreciate all the prayers, calls, e-mails and contributions to help with the situation in advance. May God continue to bless you richly that you might bless those around you and around the world that one more lost soul would come to Christ.
