Food distributions are well under way. Willem is helping to distribute in the outer lying areas of Port Au Prince as well as here in the immediate area. People are desperate & there have been a few close calls, but God has brought them through.
The last 10 days are beginning to catch up with us. Willem has been unable to sleep & is still moving. The task at hand is so great that it's hard to rest. But praise God, supplies are getting to the people.
Our school principals report that all of our teachers are safe. Many are asking about their students. It is not physically possible for us to reach each & every family at our Gramothe & Dumay schools. We have no way to know their status until school resumes. We have good reason to believe that though houses may have been lost, the earthquake came at a time that most families would not be in their homes. This gives us hope. The good news is the president of Haiti is encouraging schools that can, to reopen. We will let sponsors know as soon as possible about the status of their students. On behalf of our students & their families, thank you for your prayers & concerns.
If you have not yet listened to the prayercast link, please do so by scrolling to the previous blog. Feel free to share this with others.
We continue to encourage you to please pray. Pray for the people of Haiti, pray for Willem, pray for success of the food distributions, pray for MTM to be prepared for the ministry work yet ahead. Thank you, from the very depths of our hearts.

I found your blog today and have added it to my Reader account so I will get the updates as you post them. I am praying for your family as you minister to those around you and for the people of Haiti. May God bless you richly for the difficult and tireless work you are doing.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
Our entire congregation has been in prayer for Haiti and for the work that God is doing through your hands. Dan and I have shared Willem's powerful prayer with our circle of friends and family. We have heard touching stories of children who have been released to adopting families around the globe after years of red tape. Praise God.
My heart aches for the children who are lost in Haiti, and I pray that God will put people in their paths who will reach out and care for them.
We will continue to pray for rest for Willem and all who are serving... rest and the peace that only God can give through His mercy and grace.
Blessings Abound,
Kim
