Among the heart rending pictures and accounts of death - God has protected a missionary family who runs an orphanage there. The husband was working in one of the PAP hospitals that collapsed. He was able to walk out of that collapsed building and then walk eight miles to his home. Upon his arrival he found the house totally destroyed, but his wife and children safe without a bump or scratch. Shortly before the earthquake the wife had taken the children out into the yard for their daily Bible study and that's where they were when their house crumbled. <br />www.newhopehaitimission.orgJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833725192258613330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-83947795262745032162010-01-15T18:17:13.032-08:002010-01-15T18:17:13.032-08:00Phil,

Also look at http://training.fema.gov/IS/NIMS.asp and http://training.fema.gov/IS/crslist.asp for some basic overview courses on how to organize volunteers and staff.

We have had a missionary support volunteer(George Shelby) living with us for a year in our church building who just got back to Haiti in <br />December for a sixn month stay. He was about 100 miles north of the epicenter and is okay.<br /><br />The level of chaos and disinformation was intense for us as we tried to 'get things together' and I'm sure that, given their poor infrastructure and level of destruction, what they are experiencing is much, much worse.<br /><br />It is hard to explain what it is like to have your entire town destroyed/flooded/ruined.<br /><br />We pray for Haiti with heavy hearts here on the bayou. May the Lord be theirs today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-73303134072875853602010-01-15T08:19:56.965-08:002010-01-15T08:19:56.965-08:00Sitting in my office, it seems a bit disingenuous ...Sitting in my office, it seems a bit disingenuous to say that my heart breaks as I read stories of this event. As if I have ever had to endure even a fleeting moment of a situation like this. However, the only way to describe it is that my heart does ache for the families suffering and dealing with loss. The utter hopelessness that those impacted by this disaster must feel.<br /><br />To think of children left without care makes me weep. I cannot allow myself to imagine my children having to endure such a tragedy. Yet, there is ultimate hope for those touched by this disaster. There ultimate hope is not in the earthquake or the devastation left behind or hope of a rebuild Haiti. There is ultimate hope in a Savior who will return one day. An inheritance waiting for those who trust Christ's saving work.<br /><br />I pray that those still living will run to this ultimate hope and cling to Christ during this time as well as have their immediate needs met: safety, shelter, food, water, etc.<br /><br />I pray that my feelings don't sound trite or cliche, as it is easy to encourage clinging to Christ when tragedy is far removed. Thank you for the update.Arichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559641241257829676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-25357394406583010882010-01-15T08:19:38.385-08:002010-01-15T08:19:38.385-08:00Thank you for this.
