First Earthquake Victim Sponsored

He went down with his dad, Jeff, to deliver aid and medical supplies to help the Jerusalem Baptist Church deal with the influx of earthquake victims into the community. On his first day, he went to volunteer down at the clinic (see his first day impressions posted below). He met a 2 month old baby girl whose mother had been killed in the...
Earthquake Relief Update
The church leaders are meeting twice a week to share information and distribute aid. All the refugees are being welcomed and treated free of charge at the clinic. We spent $3,000.00 on antibiotics here and sent them in a duffle bag and they have bought supplies in the Dominican Republic and Cap Haitien. They know they are just at the beginning of this crisis in terms of what the displaced people...

"Real and Faithful Friends" - Update from Pastor...
No problems at the border. The relief team told me when customs asked them what was in the bags, they just said “for Haiti” and they let them go. The same thing at the Haitian border. We have about 700 earthquake survivors in Fort Liberte asking to be helped. Our supervisors are doing a pretty good job identifying those in greater needs. Thank you for helping how you are doing. ...

Update #3 from Pastor Andre
Hello,
As you know, Port au Prince is located in the West and we are living in the North East. We are almost opposite. We did not suffer from the earthquake, except that the earth was shaking terribly during many seconds and many times here in Fort-Liberte. Lots of people left their home to stay on the streets waiting for what was going to happen. Praise be to the Lord, the rest of the...

Update #2 from Pastor Andre - "How To Help"
Hello,
As to now there is no special requests a part from struggling to save some lives. But I am sure that later on they will need medical supplies and medicines, food and water, building materials and labors, etc. So, I think one of the best ways to contibute will be to provide money to help buy what is the most needed.

Update from Pastor Andre
Hi Dear Friends,
It is terrible in Port au Prince, many important buildings have been severely damages. I got the news from CNN, for, there is no communication between the towns of Haiiti. In the North and North East, we have felt some strong shocks but no casualties. Right now there were 3 little ones. Pray for us.
