Update: Haiti Hurricane Relief
Dear Friends,
Last week Pastor Pierre and his team traveled to Cabaret for the hurricane aid distribution. Below are some of the statistics just in Cabaret: Cabaret's populations is approximately 300,000 people. After the series of four hurricanes, the undermentioned damages were noted.
They worked with the Christian church in Desca, Cabaret, the church of God in Messailler, the Lutherian church in Messailler and the church of God Eben Ezer in Guiton Cabaret. In Desca they passed out 65 packages, in Mesailler church of God- 50 packages, in The Lutheran Church of Messailler- 30 packages and in Guiton- 70 packages. Packages included: a full bag of: rice, beans, sphagetti, cooking oil, canned fish, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bath soap, washing soap deodorant, (sanitary napkin for the women)
Now we were called to notice the people that have been relocated in Haut Damier, mostly those who lost love ones and every thing they ever owned. Over 83 families have been relocated in a temporary shelter (tent) and are there hoping to get some kind of help. Sunday night was the "wake" which is a traditional way of mourning the dead. This precedes the funeral of all those who were killed by the huricanne.
This upcoming Saturday (September 27th) we have scheduled another trip to another affected area. We continue to covet your prayers as we travel armed with supplies and open to minister the love of God to so many hurting people. Also another community called Cazale has been neglected and very much hurt by the huricanne but acces to that area for now is almost impossible. Please pray that we can have means to take help to them as soon as the authorities open up the roads. There are over 500 familes in dire need there.
Note: Those who have lost loved ones were more concerned to be prayed for than just the food and toiletries. Please find the pictures of our first distribution to Cabaret in the album below.
Blessings,
Aaron Sherrick, on behalf of Pastor Pierre
