Art and I are utterly amazed that, so far, we do not personally know anyone that has died following the earthquake, but many have lost everything. We continually get updated from people on the ground in Haiti. They will need our help for years to come. Please give what you can to the relief. Donate to our ministry: HUNGER FOR CHRIST 426 BOULEVARD ST. BELLINGHAM, WA 98225. We will be going to Haiti soon to help. 100% of the dollars that you donate will be taken to Haiti. So many people have lost their homes, their jobs, and all their belongings. We will use the dollars to help families all over Haiti rebuild their lives.
Here ia another email that we've received describing their experiences in Haiti:
January 18-Email from Bernie at Starfish Ministries regarding Mickenson:
Mickenson is a young man from Tricotte who interpreted and led worship for many of our teams. Everyone who met Mickenson immediately became his friend. Mickenson is currently in his second year of STEP seminary in Port-au-Prince .
Glenn received a phone call from Mickenson this morning and reported the following.
Mickenson was in class in seminary when the earthquake hit. He, along with his classmates, ran from the shaking building as it was coming down and most of them made it out. Two didn't. All of the buildings at the seminary have suffered severe damage. Mickenson's home is about 45 minutes by tap-tap (Haitian taxi) away from school. The roads were now blocked with rubble so Mickenson began to walk. Several hours later he arrived at home. Glenn said that Mickenson is really hurting -- he walked through the broken down city, he heard the sounds of the desperate, and he saw the bodies of many.
Please pray for Mickenson. He will recover but never be the same. He has experienced more than one should ever have to endure. But we do trust that God will use this in Mickenson's life for His purpose.
