Subject: Update about the situation in Gonaives
Dear brothers and sisters,
Our hope is that all of you are doing well as individual, family and
as a Church. We thank all of you for your thoughtful e-mails. They do
wonders. They are a great source of encouragement to keep going. We
dare not get discouraged. We dare face the situation head down. We
dare not say with many people there is no end or no solution to this.
Yet we feel the hits and the heat. We wonder a lot of time too like
anyone else. But we know we cannot move the mountain, so it is a waste
of time to keep looking at it, so we are fixing our eyes on the on
"the mountain mover." We beg for your prayers.
I told in a previous e-mail-- maybe it was yesterday-- that bridges
are being collapsed. The situation is very chaotic. We used to
complain that it takes 4 hours to drive the 85 miles distance from
Gonaives to Port-au-Prince, now it takes 10 hours. Micah left
Gonaives around 4 this morning to go to PAP, it was 2 pm when I last
called him, he was yet to arrive at his final destination. Imagine!
Pray so that urgent measures can be taken to solve this critical
problem.
Yesterday, we made a list of 40 families whom we should help out
quickly if they should survive the hunger after the hurricane. It is
tough here. It is hard here. We pray that God will help us finding the
wisest way to buy food and to get it to these suffering brothers and
sisters as safe as possible. People are already reported dead because
of hunger. Pray! Help the way you can.
After leaving the computer, I am going to visit several families whose
homes are destroyed or damaged. There are a lot of them. We will
continue with those visits tomorrow and possibly all the way to this
weekend.
We are still waiting for anti tetanous serum to help out those who are
terribly cut by barbwire, tin, boards, nails in the water. Some of the
cases are scary. Again, please pray for those people. Some are members
of Living Water, others are just people who came to my wife for help
or those I just meet while visiting the sites.
We have sunshine. Down town still has a lot of water and there there
are considerable amount of huge holes who are a threat to people's
lives. Pray.
Thanks for everything. I need your prayer for strength and wisdom.
Love you all,
Salonique Adolphe
