It has now been a week since Tropical storm Isaac passed over Haiti. We are now having many people come and report on the damages from the storm. In the area around the mission many families lost the roofs off their homes.
We are also hearing reports from the Northwest of Haiti where the storm surge was very large and homes were washed into the ocean. They also received large amounts of rain which caused gardens to be washed away and many houses damaged. A few BHM affliliated churches and schools were damaged in the Northwest.
This weekend Pastor Baker is going to be going to the northwest to see the damages. He will be passing through Atrel, so we are anxious to hear a report on how the area was affected.
Knowing that the people in Atrel and the surrounding areas were affected by the storm makes us want to be there to encourage them and work with them as they recover.
I know I have shared this before, but we know that in God's timing we will be there, but it is definitely hard during times like this.
Praise:
* That there was not more severe damage from the storm.
Prayer:
* Pray for those affected by Tropcial storm Isaac and for the churches as they reach out to those in their communities and share the love of God during this time.
* Pray for a safe trip for Pastor Baker as he travels to the northwest this weekend.
* Continue to pray that in God's timing the funds would come for us to continue building our home.
Construction is still stopped as we wait for funding.
