We received this e-mail at about 7:00 PM on Wed. night from a friend who used to live here at the compound. We are working on organizing relief supplies and maybe hiring a Haitian to drive it in. We don't feel it would be safe for a white person to be out on the roads at this time, as people can tend to act crazy when times are desperate. Please pray for relief supplies to reach everyone soon so there won't be further chaos caused by desperate people.
It seems I'm constantly asking for prayers, but thank you for being faithful.
In Christ,
Joan
Hello all!
First, I want to let you know that we are all safe. All but three of the buildings here at Christian are destroyed including our apartment building which collapsed. We have been working non-stop treating those who are wounded.
We are already running low on clean drinking water and food will be soon to follow. There are about 26 of us here, including missionaries and a team. We are also very quickly running out of medical supplies to treat the hoards of people who are coming to us.
I have heard that the road between here and Cayes is passable (a pastor friend came in today from cayes). I know it is a lot to ask, but we were wondering if anyone could help us with supplies. We need water, food, sheets, cots, antibiotics, gauze, needles, syringes and sutures (the list could go on!). Let me know if anyone could help with any or all of this.
I am so happy to hear that things in Cayes are Ok and that you all are safe!
Love to all,
Jenn Rogan
