We did not give a Sunday update, we needed to make it a day of rest & worship to the Lord, although it was still an event filled day for all of us.
The morning air was filled with powerful worship coming from the Gramothe church as they sang, "How Great Thou Art", "Because He Lives", "I Surrender All".... Madame Stephen gave her full testimony before the congregation of how God enabled her to get up & walk out of the hospital & how she never dreamed to be in the Gramothe church again.
Today has been a very real, hard day for us. Our close friends have left for the Dominican Republic to continue onto the U.S. She was in her parents' house when it crumbled down around her. She is badly shaken & needs to go.
Stephen has heard from all of his friends but one. Everyone waits to hear from her, but the area where she lived was hard hit. All of his other classmates have already or are preparing to leave. David, too, waits to hear from all of his classmates. It's beginning to feel quite lonely here, but, God has given the people of Haiti a task & it must be accomplished...rebuild this land.
As Willem works to help others get distribution points set up, the boys & I are working hard on supplies to give. We have packaged meds, created health packs as well as organized & filled 10 large bags of medical supplies from the MTM clinic. This may not sound like much, but supplies are still in dire need.
It is so overwhelming here, but we are honored to be a part of rebuilding Haiti, one village at a time. Please, please pray for Haiti. We thank you from the depths of our hearts.

It's frustrating to see how slowly the aid is being distributed. So much is still stuck at the airport. I'm praying for you all so often throughout the day, as I'm sure so many others are, too. God bless you and keep you. God be your strength and shield for today.
So thankful that you are safe! How difficult to see your country so devastated....Praying continually for God's presence to be so tangible you can "feel" it. He has not left or forsaken you... or Haiti no matter what the devil may whisper. Standing on God's promises for you... and praying for your strength.
Wilbert and I were both so worried about you and the family's safety. But praise and glory to God for your safety. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Love and prayers from Canada,
Danielle
