Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

2 Cor. 9:6 Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.  Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful give.  And God is able to make all grace abound to you so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times you may abound in eery good work.

Gal. 6:10  Therefore as we have opportunity let us do good to all,especially to those who are of the household of faith.

We are still in the USA from Terry's mom passing  but will be driving to Florida and  returning Oct 18 if the airlines will take us in, which should be ok by then to enter.  ALSO MANY ROADS HAVE BEEN WASHED OUT, so pray we can get into Haiti and up to the mountain.

THIS IS A DIFFERENT UPDATE THAN WE USUALLY SEND OUT.  BUT WE AND THE HAITIAN PEOPLE, MANY OF THEM CHRISTIANS, NEED YOUR HELP!

PLEASE PRAY SPECIFICALLY ASKING THE HOLY SPIRIT HOW YOU SHOULD HELP!

This update is coming to you right after hurricane Matthew and as you will see be the message we received from our worker in Haiti BELOW:   

October 4, Rousier sent this message during hurricane Matthew: "We need y'all prayer: the storm is destroying houses, animals, trees and a lot more. the wind is really hard and heavy rain."

The "lot more" will be like food and clothing destroyed, money lost and some will have lost their business items and school items.  The immediate need will be food and then roofs put back on and some complete houses.

October 5th reported by Rousier: " most of the pastors in our Friday group have lost their house, or church building or both.  Have not heard from the other 6 groups yet."

We have not seen THE DEVASTATION with our own eyes YET but know from years spent in Haiti,  there will be many needs and we will not be able to meet them all but we are asking you to please consider helping financially.  IF YOU CAN PLEASE SEND IT TO US BEFORE WE LEAVE TO RETURN THAT WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL.  BUT IF YOU CAN'T HELP TILL AFTER THAT PLEASE SEND IT ANYWAY, WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET IT WHILE IN HAITI.

mark check "hurrican relief" or if you want to be more specific.

PS: we have also been given 3,000 New Testaments we are taking back with us which will help with that need because many of the bibles they had in their homes will be destroyed.

NO GIFT IS TO SMALL.  THANK YOU FOR GIVING!!
