I've gotten a lot of emails over the weekend from my friends who are a part of the Haiti Lutheran Mission Society, which is the organization through which we work when we put our medical mission teams together for trips to Haiti. As you may imagine, the damage to the churches we've been a part of is worse the closer you are to Port au Prince. We've helped build churches in Delmas 89 (the main church and the headquarters of HLMS in Haiti, Pastor Louis as the director), Caradeaux, and Pellerin, and an orphanage at Lilavoise. The church at Caradeaux appears to have not been damaged too much, as well as the orphanage at Lilavoise (top two pics). The church at Delmas 89 has been damaged (bottom two pics), but the damage was mainly to the parking area; not the church or classrooms or library, thank God! Continue to pray that we will more clearly see God's glory in all of this, and more importantly that the rest of the world will.
"In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
Rescue me and deliver me in Your righteousness;
turn Your ear to me and save me.
Be my Rock of refuge,
to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for You are my Rock and my Fortress."
Psalm 71:1 - 3
