Haiti Report #3

January 22
Report #3

Good Morning,

This is Deborah writing on Douglas's behalf. He called this morning to give an update.

They arrived in Jimani last night and spent the night in a big house that someone has lent to the relief effort. There were many doctors and nurses staying there also. They all slept on the floor. He said that missionaries Pastor Ted Krey and Walter Ries looked totally exhausted so please keep them in your prayers.

They crossed the border into Haiti a little before 6:00 this morning. It was a great blessing that the cousin of the vicar who works with the mission in Dominican Republic is the commander of the police station at the border. He has been a great help to them. They are currently waiting for Marky Kessa and others from the Lutheran Church in Haiti to meet them. They have heard they are on their way. They will meet and then decide what to do from there, they are less than an hour from Port-au- Prince.

He noted that there are many semi-trucks full of water, food and gasoline going back and forth across the border so help is getting to the people.

God's blessings to you all and please keep Douglas and the team in your prayers!

Deborah for Douglas
